I recently picked up my rolling home, a 1986 Vanagon Syncro, from the body shop with a bill of $4,000. This certainly wasn’t the first time I’ve invested this sort of money into bodywork during my decade of ownership, and it sure won’t be the last. However, this is my home, and replacing the van and building something comparable simply isn’t an option. Alternatively, a truck and camper or demountable box allows the owner to seamlessly transition their living quarters to a different vehicle. This configuration means you’re not locked into one problematic rig like a sailor bound to his sinking ship. This is particularly useful if your existing truck is riddled with rust or suffering from catastrophic mechanical failure. It therefore stands to reason that the majority of your investment should be in a transferable camper rather than the vehicle itself. Today is an opportunity to buy said real estate in the form of a premium 2020 Four Wheel Campers (FWC) Woolrich Edition Hawk. This stunning example features generous storage and amenities from the factory alongside a plethora of desirable aftermarket upgrades, making this a comfortable four-season home. This self-contained unit can transform almost any full-size truck from a daily driver or commercial workhorse into a legitimate travel vehicle.
From the Seller:
“I bought this camper new from FWC in Woodland, California, in November 2021. It was their floor model for about a year. It’s been a great camper, but we’re moving on to a flatbed camper setup. I replaced most of the electronics with Redarc, including solar panels and a management system. This is designed to run a lithium battery setup (batteries not included in the purchase price). I also added a 2,000-watt Xantrex inverter to run everything.”
2020 Four Wheel Campers Woolrich Edition Hawk
Established in 1972, Four Wheel Campers has built a reputation for excellence with their truck campers and is considered the standard by which all others are measured. Established in Colorado by outdoor enthusiast Dave Rowe, who wanted a camper solution that allowed him to get further off the beaten track. Subsequently, he built a hard-sided camper (with a pop-top roof to save weight) that could be mounted to the Scout, Blazer, or Bronco, and the rest is history. Today, the company resides in Woodland, California, and has been integral to both the popularity and accessibility of overlanding. The premium Hawk camper is designed to fit full-size trucks (6.0-6.7 feet) and features a gray wool fabric and cherry cabinet Woolrich interior (this is 53/100 built). Highlights include:
