Oops big foot view.
I found it is needed to pull the bottom support board and cushion for raising/lowering the the top. That is the only negative so far. The Hawk has an 80" wide body which I'm really liking.

I like the couch/bed option that is in my Hawk shell. Just did not care for it being front to back and in front of the viewing windows. Couch or bed you could not see out the windows. Also when in the bed mode the floor space was nil and no room to use the porta-potty without lifting the bed back to couch mode. The way I've placed it...

Great job! Couple of questions.
1. Did you have to modify the length of the couch?
2. How do you like your Froli sleep system?

Nice job,looks great and sure helps with having the extra space.I think for the folks who don't like the side dinette this would be a great option,or the "new" front dinette that is showing up on the newer FWC models.

No. the Hawk shell was wide enough with a few inches on each end of the metal brackets
2. How do you like your Froli sleep system?
I've slept on this system a couple times now. It is much better, without the Froli springs the bed just didn't work for me.

I was on the summit of Imogene Pass(13,000+ elv.) and a FJ driver with a RTT was drooling on my Tundra with the Hawk shell. Said that's all you need. LOL
