My Hawk with solar on a 3/4 ton Chevy 4x4 just clears my 8’ door by an inch or two.

I do the same thing only with Nalgene water bottles, plastic milk cartons, and my favorite Arizona iced tea containers....(quality packaging by the way). I keep my freezer stocked with "free ice".

My FWC hawk on a chevy 2500 just clears my eight foot garage door. I assume the campers you mention are much taller than my FWC.

Exactly. My light weight FWC Hawk is 1360 pounds dry. Loaded, wet, 2 people and a big dog I'm packing a bit over a ton. I like being UNDER my 3/4 ton trucks max payload by 600 pounds. Personally, I wouldn't and didn't consider a 1/2 ton. Size wise the GM twins and Rams are essentially the same...

Been using my Nemo now for a couple years and it has worked out fine. For the shower tent floor I use my WeatherTec truck floor mat.

Ah...well apparently Fiat did: "In October, FCA agreed to a voluntary “defect” recall of 74,833 U.S. customer-based alternators in certain 2007-2013 model year Ram trucks and 2011-2014 Dodge Charger police vehicles. Also included in the recall were an additional 10,077 vehicles in...

Nice looking hounds....mine says howdy!

Been in a lot of high winds with my two FWC and have never felt the need to drop the top. It does get noisy and rocks and rolls but I just put in some ears plugs, have another drink and hang on. Funny, in my old Grandby I sometimes would dry it out by driving down the road with the top up. No...

John, you might also try the Wander the West forum for your questions: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/ A lot more FWC owners over there who are in a much better mood.

Wish I hadn't purchased the jacks....the dealer used them to load the camper and then I put them in the basement 4 years ago. My camper is on full time and the dealer recommended removal especially if used off road. He showed me a camper in for repair when a jack got snagged in a WM parking...

Ahh... you should've bought my 83 K20. Great truck, had it for 30 some years and I still regret selling it.

Any chance your wife would go for this?

OP here....had my Crocs for over a year now and they're working out great. Perfect for around the house and especially the yard. I always take them camping for showers, relaxing and nighttime excursions into the weeds. As far as driving, hiking or weddings not so perfect.
