He said food. Good Scotch is a food group all by itself! But agreed - Best advice is use your rig! While you're out having fun, keep a list of the things that feel cumbersome or drain your energy - those are your opportunities to make improvements. I keep a running Google Keep list in my...

We have a Flatbed Hawk, so the storage situation is different (generous storage being one of the reasons we opted for a flatbed), but we have some general organizational tenets that might be helpful: I absolutely HATE "The Duffle Shuffle" - the little dance we used to have to do where bags...

This reminds me a lot of the Sherptek beds, which I think have a LOT of potential for 4WCs and the like: https://sherptek.com/truckbed

I came into this thread to say the exact same thing, and found that it was covered. For me, it seems to be the lines between tank, pump, and faucet that are the issue. If I flush the line, the water immediately after is good, and I don't have a noticeable taste for the rest of the trip if I'm...

Our previously-owned 2020 Hawk came with the Fiamma awning. It's not necessarily what I would have picked for myself, but in retrospect, I'm really glad that's what's on there. To explain - I had a hard-case awning on my GTRV camper van, and I found it exceedingly heavy and a little hard to...

Very late to this party, but I wanted to thank everyone who contributed ideas for a table "stop collar" for the FWC gooseneck table arms. Like so many, we'd struggled with finding that "sweet spot" where the adjuster knobs were loose enough to allow you to pivot the arm/tabletop around for...

So this is the setup we used for our recent 2-week trip around Oregon. We only deployed it on 2 nights - whilst in campsites near the coast with strong winds cross-wise to the camper (the conditions that get things side-rocking enough to be problematic). This definitely took the majority of...

I forgot to grab a photo, but I had a promising test in the driveway using the Valterra stabilizer with an extra bit of 1.5" sq tube to bridge the gap between the rear bumper portions. We'll bring both pieces on our next trip and see if it works well enough to justify continuing to carry. If...

7050lbs GVWR, 2200lb payload Custom rear leaf pack from Boise spring works, Falcon Tow/Haul suspension (leveling/shock kit).

Not seeing the most recent photos... :(

This is the current configuration - this is the OEM inner bumper/hitch piece flipped over, which is at least nice for getting the hitch up out of the way. Again, this is from the previous owner, we may revise a lot of things before we're "done", but no big changes before end-of-summer as we're...

Apologies - 2018 F150 supercab shortbed with a Ute, Ltd. tray. I'll get a photo of the rear end - there's not a whole bumper, but the PO re-installed the OEM inner bumper section upside down (so as to raise the hitch up higher, etc.)

We're enjoying our newly acquired Flatbed 4WC Hawk - it's a big step up from our pop-top van, but one item my wife has put on the punch list, then highlighted and circled, is to find a way to stabilize the camper a bit more when we're camped. As it sits on the suspension right now, the truck...

The external Rotopax holders are also good for people who need to carry a 2nd fuel source (diesel heater on a gas truck, or gasoline for a motorcycle on the back of a diesel truck, etc.) I think the AT price is fair considering that they're CNC cut/bent stainless. Materials alone is probably...

I thought for sure this thread was going to be about the AT Overland Rotopax mounts: https://atoverland.com/products/at-overland-rotopax-holder This mounts to the forward jack brackets and fits between the front wall of the camper and the rear window.

Does this camper have the propane locker? Is it in there?

I think if I was going to change anything about the design of the Hawk Flatbed, it would be to steal a page from the Overland Explorer HBE and add a pass-through to the outside from the curbside dinette. (Maybe even divide it up into a lower "outside" basement and a shallower inside space, per...

Similar question for the under-dinette spaces: How does that NOT become a black hole of piled crap? We're stowing bulky items like sleeping bags, etc. on one side, and that's fine, but the other side is slowly accumulating all the "camping gear" that's slightly too large to fit anywhere else...

Thanks. Started moving gear over from the old camper in earnest today - the proverbial "Yard Sale" with camping gear spread all over the driveway while I move stuff over. Drawer looks like it will do the job, but will at least need some bins for that larger cabinet! :D

Hello all, we've recently picked up a used 4WC Flatbed Hawk. It's a big step up for us in terms of usable internal storage (and having a galley!). That said, we're a little bit flummoxed by the shape/accessibility of the kitchen cabinets, so rather than reinvent the wheel (or waste money by...

That's the spec sheet for the non-LIFEPO version of the IQ4. The LifePo version has slightly different voltage (14.7v bulk) and no Absorption stage. These are in the manual here: https://www.donrowe.com/v/vspfiles/pdf/iq-lifepo_owners_guide.pdf

I really like it. The factory front-dinette is really disappointing from a seating-space standpoint - the bump-out for the water tank on full camper models makes it strictly a 1-person per side thing on everything but (maybe) a Grandby. Another +1 for using factory fabric. I've previously...

As far as I can tell, IOTA still sells the DLS- series that accept the IQ4 module (non-"X" suffix). Moreover, they added a Lithium-specific IQ4 module to the lineup a few years back. I'm wondering if your experience is with the "IQ4-LifePo", or just the original battery module? Switching IQ4...

Well that happened.
