    Roof Weight on a FWC???

    Thanx for good tidings on our trip to New Orleans. Still waiting on the whether to choose the route...And I certainly agree that the Tundra looks and drives better with the FWC. I pulled that bigfoot x country twice and don't miss towing. That is the major reason we went for the FWC! For more...

    Ext mounting options

    I am looking for ideas on what any of you have used the exterior space at the rear on the drivers side of the FWC. I seem to recall brackets for bikes, gas cans etc. We could use some exterior storage, hopefully not adding too much weight. The issue would be getting behind the fridge for...

    Anyone add 12volt socket?

    Installed a 12vt plug next to the co2 detector. Tapped into the wires for power. This puts the plug on the right side of the camper up next to the storage area. Thus not having to run cords across camper. Works well.

    Heading to Vancouver

    Stan, Thanks for info, looking forward to the trip. By the way we camped at limekiln (off the one south of Monterey) last week. Absolutely beautiful. Didnt envy the late arrivals setting up tents. With the FWC, bada bing bada boom and up.

    Going Greener (It's not easy being green!)

    Going green without even trying!!! When one thinks about it, FWC types are green automatically. Heres why: My Tundra with a hawk gets about 16 mpg at 55-60 on regular gas. Not great but better than premium fuel in those pocket rockets getting 20mpg. We'd really be happy if we were allowed to...

    Heading to Vancouver

    We are taking our Tundra/Hawk from Calif to Vancouver around Thanksgiving. Was wondering if anyone had recommendations on stopping/camping near Grants Pass, Oregon (about 12 hours from here) and then onto Vancouver, BC another 10 hours up the 5. Thanx, Jeff

    FWC battery low on arrival

    FWC battery not charging from Truck Battery Good info. Bought voltmeter tested all. Was a break in the wire from isolator to FWC connection. Repaired and all working fine. Sometimes it's the most obvious that is easiest to fix. I agree that a boat type three way battery selector would be a...

    Fuses blown??? Wiring diagram?

    Fuse to where? Thanks, I do have the panel with the plastic covers. There is no indication whatsoever as to what the fuses go to. In fact there are two empty slots. I understand how the pushpull switch works. There must be a separate fuse or fuses handling the detectors. Has anyone made sense...

    Fuses blown??? Wiring diagram?

    For whatever reason the propane detector and co2 alarm are both not working or on. Checked 12vt fuses at panel, all ok. Does anyone know which fuses go to what? Perhaps these two detectors are fused somewhere else? And if there is a schematic to the fuse panel? Thanx. 2006 Hawk.

    Wiring Info

    Wiring run Hi Ben, 2006 Hawk, Question is to how the 12vt wiring is run from the lights in the pop top to the circuit breakers. It surely doesnt run along the vinyl sides or does it? My goal is to tap into the circuit at some point and wire in another 12vt outlet. Probably along the upper...

    Fantastic Fan retrofit

    Just replaced the vent with automatic fantastic fan. Was an easy install (prewired) and fit perfectly. Longest time spent cleaning out old caulking. That and the folding step install on my resume for a job at FWC, Too much free time for this cameraguy.
