Well I have been lurking for awhile and learning a lot. Wanted to wait until I picked up my Hawk in November to post but decided I want to say thank you to all of you here for sharing your wisdom and experience! I researched threads and ordered new tires, BFG KO3's today. I also learned I need a safejack recovery kit. I am only purchasing 4 tires ($$$$) and my current spare will have to do for now. Planning on doing BLM dispersed camping and weather permitting hope to start my adventures in Nov/Dec. Haven't decided on 'first' trip (probably Salt Point in Jenner?), probably more civilized location since I am officially an old geezer (yes I read that thread). I have spent 2 years trying to buy a FWC Hawk (or similar) used, finally gave up, at least my 'kids' will inherit a nice camper (along with the debt ;)) I can't wait!! My experience at the FWC showroom in Woodland was beyond my expectations, and I was fortunate to meet the 'in house expert', lucky me! So I spend my time reading threads here, and marking all the camping spots I want to go to and can afford to go to. Feel free to suggest locations, I still work 40 hours a week but hope to adventure out on weekends for now. AND, I hope I posted this in the correct forum, if not I am sure I will hear about it!

Thank you! Appreciate all your posts, many places you that mention about are on my ‘list’, including Bucks Lake, can’t wait to go there again.
 
Congratulations on your new camper and welcome to Wander the West! And, we've enjoyed stopping in Occidental many times. Get ready for fun.
 
Welcome to WTW, and congratulations on the new camper! We hope you’ll post lots of pictures when it’s delivered, and on your upcoming adventures!
 
Welcome! You will be amazed over time as I was, at the wealth of not only knowledge but camaraderie of those here sharing the ups (mostly) and the downs ( dumb mistakes) that are the fun of owning a compact camper, going places luckily most don't. Keep sharing and happy trails.
 
Ha! I hope to! So many blm and other spots saved in my map program as well as good old paper maps.
Just waiting for install in November!

Grateful for everyone here.
 
congratulations on your Hawk! I can’t believe it’s been four years since I got my shell. I spent a year deciding what I wanted perusing this site and then the year waiting for it to be delivered on here asking questions and stockpiling items for it in my garage. Well fours years later I’m still tweaking my layout, finding some new way to do something (usually during a trip) and messing with it in between trips. And to me that is part of the fun in owning one of these things. And of course, still perusing this site!
