That's really cool. I have a FJ40 and have considered doing this---wondering if there is room for a dirt bike under the overhang :)

Hello- I'm in So Cal and am seriously considering selling mine. PM me and lets talk.

Hi Roger, I added footman loops to my Hawk for the Trasharoo. While traveling I have it mounted up high and loop the straps through all four loops to keep it from flapping. - when I get set up - I can drop it down to the lower of the 2 so it can be easier to reach for those who are vertically...

Hi Lamb- these guys are going to love seeing your 55. :D I really wanted to do this to the FJ45 I restored several years back. TT

I have a Hawk on my 2003 Tundra- here is what I am using http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/15851-f250-cab-clearance-with-hawk/?p=188866 Nice seeing some other riders on the forum. :D

Harv, I'm also considering purchasing a new Ford F250 (w/ 6.5' bed) and a FWC Hawk camper. But, I need to be able to open the camper door just enough to slip inside to take a quick nap while traveling with my motorcycle mounted on a receiver mounted carrier. Could you please measure the...

Hi Ski3pin, I would like to limit attendance to FWC owners or those interested in purchasing a new or used FWC. The camping spot I picked has enough room for maybe 25 - 30 trucks overnight if we don't get too spread out. For the casual visitor its remote yet only maybe a mile off the paved road...

I may be able to make it- thats just down the hill from me and a great place to camp for groups. I was there this last April.

Blair valley is always a good spot for a group.

All, There must be at least 10 or more FWC in San Diego County. I am always reading the posts to get ideas to improve the way I do things. What better way to do this than to meet somewhere for a few days to hang out, make new friends and check out our rigs. We could either boon dock or go to...

So you have probably seen my 1000 questions regarding this trip in the planning portion of the forum. I have to admit I had some (ALOT) of apprehension regarding this trip. The plan was for a night in Big Pine, a night in Death Valley and back to Big Pine for two nights. Death Valley was the...

I turned an old off-road rack into a back porch by welding receiver stock to it. It has worked out real well. I will be building another one that will include a receiver hitch to allow me to atach a bike ramp for my XR.

ON SECOND THOUGHT . . . You bought a "2-way" 12 volt refrigerator, but you are adding the vents ??? If you install these vents on the outside of the camper, the camper will NOT be water tight. It might get VERY drafty too with all of the air from outside of the camper coming inside ? Are you...

I just bought a 60 quart Engel 12 volt fridge for my 2000 Hawk and need to add vents to the exterior. I bought a fixed louver vent for the top and a hinged Dometic vent for the bottom. Looking at an exposed frame picture on FWC website - it looks like there are openings in the frame behind the...

I have a 2003 Tundra access cab with a 2000 Hawk. I love it. I also am a big Toyota fan and own several landcruisers - I have towed my FJ40 from So Cal to Moab behind the Tundra several times with no problems. I also have enjoyed taking my Tundra to several remote places in Death Valley, the...

Great thread- I found my great deal as a result of this site and the efforts of those who posted up ads- especialy natjwest and IT guy. My blackberry was going off quite a bit and it also helps to have some luck every now and then. I was sure I missed the one I ended up with- but it was meant to...

A Grandby. Dont know the year, but was told mid to late 90s. I am now the third owner. Just need to figure out a short/medium/long list of items I need to attend to and then put together a wish list. I may end up chatting with the guys at FWC about some of the items on the list. Natjwest: what...

Look into the pilot light relighter mod if you plan to keep the fridge rather than a compressor fridge, the relighter is sweet! Keep in mind when getting second battery that batteries connected together should be as closely matched as possible, definitely in capacity but ideally in age as well...

I'm going down to Grass Valley tomorrow to buy it! This is my last day as a non-FWC-owning human. Right on- have a safe trip.

I'll write a detailed report on my searching next week. I want to do it properly to help others in the future but I'm too busy now. Sweet, TemTim! Did you just haul it home with that strap? I'm trying to figure out hauling plans for my pending pickup later this week. It's about 600 miles from...

Not only is it not bad, but I bet you can be first in line with good communication, enthusiasm and offering more than the first in line. At this listing price, you potentially have a lot of room to bid higher. Guess what- My 11 month hunt has now ended- I have a new camper. Seller called me...

As a courtesy to me for posting religiously to this thread, please don't call on the grandby just listed in sacramento. How's that for asking nicely? Hoping you get some good Karma for all the postings you have done.

Get driving! :P I called - 2nd in line -story of my life.

I am new to the site and have been doing some research on buying a FWC for my 1997 Toyota T100. I have thought about holding out and waiting for the perfect fit-Kestrel, but am getting antsy and was wondering if anyone out there knows if a 1992 Ranger would fit my truck, as well as one of the...

That's a good point, but I wasn't sure if a Hawk would fit in an 8' bed. Wings/wrap/etc? Anyway, it's gone now. After going through a couple weeks of MUST-HAVE-FWC-NOW angst, I'm exercising patience and saving up for a Grandby within a day's drive (which is anything from Sacramento north to...
