We've done multiple trips including several 2 week trips. Never in the dead of winter but some time in fall in the NV desert and the Rockies/Great Sand DUne/Mesa Verde. Did a night on top of Mesa Verde in a snowstorm, another night in Great Basin at 28 degrees. That was the only time we have had...

I've almost bought an InReach several times starting before Garmin bought them when a float plane pilot in Fairbanks recommended them to me. When it was Delorme, the subscriptions were simple, but out of my financial comfort zone at that time. Now I could afford any of the Garmin plans but I...

Yeah, I was eyeing that as a possibility, but the cover there is some kind of hard composite and I didn't have any grommets. I ended up running everything down the rear of the fender and under the cab/tub, which was my second choice. I got tired of staring at it so I went the way that was...

Thanks! That's what I needed, some real world experience. You put RF chokes on the coax, mic, and controller line?

Starting to install today. The best spot I can find for the head unit is under the driver's seat near the door. This spot gives me good access for running power/coax to engine compartment. I am mounting a 42" antenna on the fender/hood lip (driver's side). We have a FWC camper that does not live...

I know what it does, I was just wondering if I should consider a missing part that I paid for or a poorly written manual.

Planning out my install in my 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins. On Page 29 of the manual, "Connecting the Radio" in Step 1, it says "To reduce high frequency electronic noise, place the Controller Cable through the supplied ferrite core." It shows a diagram of one of those typical hinged plastic-cased...

For our FWC outside shower, which is on the driver's side (Hawk), I cannibalized some parts from an old tent. The tent had the standard fiberglass/shock cord poles, and at the bottom of the tent where the poles go, there was the older style of aluminum "studs" (like a heavy piece of aluminum...

Bought ours last August. Have spent around 50 nights in it and done about 10k miles. You will love it. Like any camper, there are always compromises, but for high speed/low drag camping with a decent bit of convenience and luxury, it can't be beat.

I have put 8k miles on my first diesel, 2018 Ram 2500. We ran our loaded FWC Hawk on my wife's 1500 with air bags and a sway bar, and it was ok. But we did not want to drive that truck into the ground and we were definitely over GVWR by a little bit, and had a hot brake incident on a decent...

Picking a camper is all about figuring out which compromises you want to make. It's hard not to want everything checked off your list of must-haves when you are making such a big investment, but the reality is that you will have to make compromises. We have a FWC Hawk with the regular queen size...

We have a side dinette Hawk for the two of us and occasionally our dog. The dog sleeps on the floor under the dinette table. On cold nights when we retire to the camper before bed time and listen to a podcast or something, my wife relaxes in the bed and I sit at the rear seat of the dinette, and...
