I did it several years ago in my 2003 Tundra (stock height) with a Hawk. Customized the the truck on a rock right under the passenger side door while trying to negotiate the very spot where that van is pictured. Probably avoidable if I were a better off roader! Otherwise the trip was...

Buyer beware on Amazon: what are sold as C16-15952 struts, which is a Suspa part number, by a vendor called DXZ Wholesale, which also uses Suspa's catalog photo on Amazon, are not actually Suspa struts. They are cheap knock-offs. I noticed on FWC factory-installed Suspa struts that the shafts...

Hi all- I put Suspa springs on my Hawk two years ago. The shafts are so rusted that they barely work now. Has anyone else experienced this? If not then I’m wondering if the Amazon vendor sent me knock-offs. I haven’t seen any of the factory-installed lifts rust out like this. The offset...

I recently moved my Hawk from a 2003 access cab 4.7 l to a 2010 double cab 5.7 l. A LOT more power and much better brakes and handling under load. The two tucks are not similar in any respect on the highway. Backseat in the double cab has plenty of room for kids. The downsides of the 2010 are...

I bought my Hawk bolted to a trailer with leaf springs. Many of the welds on the camper frame were broken. I fixed those that I could get to and had to replace the front wall skin entirely because it was so torn. The cabinetry just doesn't line up to this day even with the repairs and now having...

I just put my Hawk on the same truck and it carries it beautifully with Air Lift air bags. Our two kids can sleep on the lower level just fine but as they are now 8 and 11 we are putting them in a tent because that makes moving around in the camper much nicer. I don't have the rollover bench...

Moved my Hawk to a newer truck because we need a bigger cab and thus am selling a perfectly good camper hauler and all around great truck. I'm putting it up for sale in a couple of days (last task is just to wash it) but thought I would offer it to the forum beforehand since it is set up...

Pair of Brophy CJ-41 cable jacks for sale. $200. Please contact me through a PM or via this CL ad: https://slo.craigslist.org/tls/5395783026.html

I have a pair of the Reico-Titan tripod cable jacks that I would like to get out of my garage. I believe they are the ones that came with the camper originally--I bought my Hawk from the original owner and these came with it but I later installed corner jacks. The cable jacks are like new. If...

And here is the brass cap that goes in place of the faucet when not in use.

And here is the whole setup in the camper. You'll have to imagine a pony keg sitting in the trash can and a tie-down around the water heater blanket and trash can to hold things in place.

Here is a photo of the plumbing for it with the CO2 bottle. The regulator with the paintball gun adaptor I found on-line. The red valve is a CO2 valve that I put in the beer line so I can turn off the the beer from the inside of the camper without un-tapping the keg...to deter those alcoholic...

Kept cold by putting the keg (5 gal) in a kitchen trash can with ice, wrapped in a water heater blanket. Strapped it into the former porta pottie space just inside the door. Found a used paintball gun co2 bottle to keep the system compact. Adapters for those to go to the regulator are on line...

Here is my low-cost dust cover for the water heater. Mine is on the back wall so it gets caked in dust which I believe was the death of the original thermostat/controller unit in the water heater that I just replaced. I got a car door magnet like you use for a business ad on the side of your...

The latest mod...on CO2 and everything!

I hope you get your issue resolved. I agree with those who said that there is a bad connection somewhere, and also that an 80w panel is undersized for two batteries. IMO: solar and compressor fridge set up right = worth it. Set up wrong... Here is my set up that has topped off my battery...
