picking up my Hawk!

wow, I read your story and I can relate. I need surgery on L4, L5 as well. and blew out my shoulder doing down hill mountain biking. slept in tent for years until the coyotes in the desert make it impossible to sleep. then bought a crew cab gmc so I could put a twin air mattress in back seat folded down. but I am 6 foot 7. LOL so I have not camped since memorial day. same as you I came into a little cash flow. looked for used hawks, but they always sell within 3 days of ad. I was even willing to drive out of state. so im lucky to also have a local FWC dealer very near me. (within 3 miles) I ordered a new hawk last august. I will have mine by thanksgiving. super excited, as I know your excitement. congrats on your find.

Congrats Neversummer! Just got a used Hallmark and loving it. Grew up climbing and mtn. biking (broke my collarbone a few times biking) and sleeping on the ground. Best of luck on the blog - looking forward to it!
 
Great success story? I started checking our FWC's last fall when I needed a camper to stay in while duck hunting. I can totally relate to the fact that good used ones are hard to come by and new ones take FOREVER to get. My story was one of luck as my 2015 Hawk had been bought by a guy in So Cal who went through a divorce and never used it. Then it was bought by a guy from Georgia who brought his wife out to California to get it. The wife liked the concept, but not that particular Hawk layout, so they ordered a new one. He put it on Craigslist with the story and said he was heading north from So Cal. I hit it just right. He brought the camper to my work and then my house in the SF Bay Area. I bought it and have no regrets as it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I tell people it is absolutely luxurious. I am 6'6" and sleep so comfortably in it. I am also lucky enough to have the factory located between me and my hunting. The people at FWC are the BEST! They set up my truck, gave me advice on airbags and have installed a FoxWing awning and rear flood lights. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I have.
