From the blog:
Comparing your photos to those of older campers, there seems to be a greater distance from the bottom of the sheet metal, under the door, to the bottom of the door. Also, a greater distance from the top of the door to the base of the roof, and the cabover section seems to have added some height.
Has Four Wheel Campers made some design changes recently, to their whole line, or are the changes I see specific to campers for use with the new F150s?
I have asked this question of FWC, and have not got an answer - which, from what I hear about them, I should not be surprised.
I'm not sure about changes across the line, but the Hawk was redesigned in 2004 to fit the new F150. The bottom part is deeper to accomodate the deeper F150 bed. I'm not sure how that effects the other dimensions. The part that extends over the top of the cab sits higher on the F150 than any other truck I have seen. I'm not sure if this means the camper is taller overall than non-F150 models. I'd be interested to have two side by side and take some measurements.
