Hi all,
I have a 2000 Hawk on a 2010 Tundra. I have to use a platform so that the Hawk clears the siderails. Right now I'm just using a skeleton with 2x4s, but would like to make something that allows me to store things under the camper. I've seen a few examples of others doing this.
My question is...since I don't want to raise the Hawk any higher than I have to, I'll probably just use 2x4s on end, so I guess the space under camper would end up being about 3.5". I'm thinking of storing things like axe, shovel, etc (admittedly not as badass looking as displaying my axe on my rig so that all can see, but it seems practical to me . I was also thinking I could get one of the "thinner" rotopax gas cans, and keep it under there as emergency gas. Wondering if there would be any safety reason that I shouldn't store a rotopax of gas under the camper?
Thanks for any thoughts. Ian
