Here's all I could find of the back, neither one shows it very good. I will have it loaded up in a couple weeks, if you still need pics I can take whatever you need. There is less room than with a Hawk but I don't need much, I'm outside except to cook and sleep. I really like the smaller...

BTW thanks to Stan at 4wheel. He helped me out with a video and some dimensions to make my platform.

Not a Fleet but I have an Eagle on my Quad Cab Dodge. I had to make a platform for it to sit on so the sides would clear the bed and it would clear the cab too.

Did a little exploring in the FWC Eagle truck camper North of 24 a couple weeks ago. My main purpose was to scout some camping sites for when I bring my bikes out for a little trail riding. Camped near the arch and another site that had a big flat rock as the back of a firepit. I want to hit the...

2008 Eagle on a 2007 Ram. New to me, only used it twice. This camper has been around though. Wake the Dead Diaries took it around the US and down to Panama.

I'll have to wait until Saturday to get pictures. Have you had a chance to check out the video?

Eagle is made for a narrower bed truck. As long as you have the platform high enough to clear your bedsides you won't have any worries. If I get off work early enough I'll take some pictures of the camper on the truck.

The main thing clearance wise is bed depth and cab height. What are your measurements? Bedside clearance on the Eagle is 17 1/2" and cab clearance is 41 1/2". All I did was stand 2x4's on end and nail 1/4" plywood on top and I have enough clearance.

I have an Eagle on a 2007 Dodge Ram. I had to make a platform to raise it about 3 1/2" to clear the bedsides and cab. Stan from 4wheel sent me a video they made that has some ideas on making a smaller camper fit full size trucks. Here is the link http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jpK4gJbQcKU I like...

Stan at four wheel campers sent me a video on putting an Eagle in a full size truck. On the video they showed some platforms like you want to build. It is on youtube, I'll try to find it. What I did was to put 3 2x4's standing on end topped with 1/2" plywood...

I figured it wouldn't be feasible. I am trying to keep my eye out for a Hawk that would fir in my truck, but they don't come up very often.

Are there any articles about making modifications to an older FWC so it will fit the newer narrow bed trucks? It seems there are alot of good deals on the older ones out there. Right now I have a older 8' Palomino that I put into my short bed truck. I want to upgrade but just don't want to spend...
