I'm sure it's a long-shot, but thought I would post and see if there might be anyone out there that has or knows of one up for sale.  Looking for a FWC Raven with AC the other options are not as important, but from what I hear FWC reinforces the wall for AC so it needs to have come from the factory with it.

 

We have been camping in pop-ups and tents, but want to start pulling a small trailer with the kayaks.  This will be my first truck camper and have been looking for about a year.  I have priced out a new one and worst case will just order in about a week.

 

As far as new goes here is a list of the options I was going to add.  I live down in South Texas where it is very hot and humid.  Most of the camping I do is at the beach or camp grounds.  I will carry a generator for when we are off the grid. 

 

Mechanical jacks

2-way 80 liter frig

Heat

A/C

Hot water with outside shower

Fantastic fan

Batwing

External gas strut

 

I might also add external led lights, yakima tracks only.

 

Any advice on if these options are worth it or any options I should have that I am leaving out would be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks in advance for any help,

Eric

what truck are you using?  

 

Seems to be about 20:1 Hawks to Ravens, if you can work with the extra 10 inches probably a lot easier to find.

I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra Crew Max with the 5.5' bed.  I wasn't sure about the camper hanging over/leaving tailgate on since I pull a trailer most of the time.  I do agree that having the extra room would be nice plus I could change to a front or side dinette instead of rollover couch.  I really wish the Texas dealer hadn't gone out of business so I could see these in person.  All of this is sight unseen.

Stan,  Thanks for the link.  I sent him a pm.  Any chance you can give me a quote for adding AC?  I sent you an email also.  

 

Thanks again,
