I have a very lightly used 2022 FWC Hawk for sale. I am the original owner. It was purchased from Four Wheel Campers in Bozeman, MT in November of 2022 for $39,400. I have the MSO for CO in hand (CO does not title campers). The camper has been garaged whenever not in use up until late May of...

I'd probably never buy a Powerwagon, because it isn't the type of vehicle I prefer, but it is one impressive truck. I ran the Cleghorn Trail in the Cajon Pass area of Southern California a couple of years ago. My friend (in a 4Runner Trail Edition) and I (in my Xterra Pro-4x) were pretty...

AugDog, poor customer service is never temporary. Proceed at your own risk.

Whatever you buy, make sure you get one that fits within the policy of the airline(s) you typically fly. See http://www.travelnerd.com/airline-fees/carry-on-luggage-sizes. For US carriers, the lowest common denominator seems to be 22 x 14 x 9.

If a company won't return your call/email when you're looking to buy something, imagine how much trouble you will have getting their attention post sale when you need help with something. I have no experience with them at all, but based on their behaviors described above, I'd avoid them like...

I have, and regularly use, a Travelpro Crew 9 22" carry-on. Held up well so far, and properly sized to fit in overhead bins. Even has a garment bag feature. So far no complaints. I got it off Amazon for $185. So far, I'm quite happy with it.

And now that I've had my coffee, DiploStrat's comment about a relay makes sense, since that is what the tow wiring uses to cut power to the trailer when the vehicle ignition is off.

Mark, my apologies. I misunderstood you initially. I assumed you were towing a trailer when I heard "camper". I would imagine there is probably a way to hook the house batteries up to your tow wiring (which will only be active when the ignition us on, assuming the Fuso has such wiring)...

What is selling right now are minivans and station wagons that don't look like either one, aka "crossovers". The market for real off road capability can apparently only support one contestant at this point.

DiploStrat, what is the purpose of the relay?

I charge off the alternator running a 7-pin connector. It works great for me, but my trailer only has ~120 AH battery in it, and my tow vehicle even less. You'd probably have to do a lot of driving to fill 930 AH, but then again, it probably never gets close to empty. I have a solar charger...

So what is left for someone who wants an off-road capable mid-size SUV in 2016? Seems to me that the JK is it. Maybe the 4runner, but is a little big, and doesn't offer a manual transmission. I'm sure the decision to drop the Xterra was made some time ago, but the timing seems poor on...

And then there was one...

Havasu is a bit far, but I might be willing to drive if they're good. What's the name of the person/business?

I'd like to find something a little more "built-in", like in this pic: My guess is I may need to find a good cabinet maker to fabricate it for me. Does anyone know a good cabinet maker in the Las Vegas area?
