went to the border to get the sentri pass for the truck , but found out you can't bring a camper through the fast line

Hallmark should be great, sometimes wish we went with a foam insulated camper, lots of heat loss in the winter. We put the Engle in the camper, 1 night with it so far seem quiet enough, power draw is not too bad been monitoring with battery monitor, hoping we can get 2.5 days on battery without...

We went with a FWC Hawk Shell with a side dinette. Some Pros: quick setup and take down. Heating works fairly well, we use it for ice climbing or skiing (although it is not perfect, there is certainly some moister management). We find ourselves popping it up at trail heads to change and setup...

Update to Thread Added much needed 40 lbs lifting Struts. Side awning Yakima Racks Put Engle Fridge in and temp wired it in. Getting a .5 draw, not sure if it is the fridge wiring. i will disconnect today and check it out. Installed a second group 24 agm, kept the older one in place, mismatched...

this thread is amazing : https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/build-flatbed-for-slide-in-camper.201382/unread Mine is a more budget friendly option (check my sig). I love having the outside storage.

wow, that is amazing. Attention to detail! love how it maximizes the space.

I have a hawk shell on a flatbed (6.5), and have put boxes where the side rails would be, have not added the under tray boxes. I love having extra storage on the outside, I would think having a storage box behind the cab and in front of the camper would be great. Love to store a table, portable...

Ranger at Whitney portal says our pop up (fav) camper was okay , but hardly a very bear intensive area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agree on the flatbed option, a 7.5 foot with dinette in the back would be cool

nice camper. As a Hawk shell owner and winter camper I definitely appreciate the thermal design they have. I really like how they brace all the corners, amazing. Question on the roof hatch, is that a requirement for an emergency exit? Does it get in the way of solar panel mounting?

Saw a 7 ft flatbed Alaskan at Mammoth, similar layout to yours, they were loving it. Seeing the model in person has us thinking, great space and they look great inside, super cool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a pop up hawk shell from four wheel campers, put a stove and heater in it , drives great. 2006 mega cab diesel. Upgraded the suspension. Shell was a cheaper way to go and lighter Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

looks great!

@ncalies , we just ordered a thermal pack for the camper so hope that improves things. Generally condensation is a problem due to the aluminum. it is warm enough and a have camped for awhile in single digit temps. We have not been diligent about having a vent open when we sleep so going to try...

Love the camper. Would like to hear about how it manages for winter camping if you do any? Temperature , Condensation and snow load? Have you stealth camped in it, looks like you can get away with it with that layout. How is it having the stove right next to the bed? We have a fourwheel hawk and...

I have an 06 , upgraded the transmission and put a smarty on it. 160k on mine, most by previous owner. I have had a few issues. Transmission, auto, there is an issue where the coolant can flow into the transmission and kill it, that was expensive. Had an issue with my AC (sounds like the same...

I love the bumper, it is heavy and a bit overkill, but I think it is cool and provides a number of options for mounting light bar etc. I upgraded the suspension , added a bunch of weight to the front. I am sure some would advise that it is better to minimize the weight that far in front of the axle.

strangely one HID stays on when i turn off the truck, there is only one relay in the kit and direct wire to the power, so you would think both would stay on, I am going to put a cutoff switch under the hood as a temp solution, may need to wire something to the cab if I can't sort out. Not sure...

HID Kit Install HID Kit from Retro shop : need to finish turn signals and Halos. I think one of the signals burnt out, so good time to replace. Need to Troubleshoot the Halos not firing up atm.

Thanks for the tip on the box over the cab , I have been thinking about that. Need to cut some wind out a store a table and solar panel. Linkages are new, steering is good. Box upgrade? are you referring to the steering box? 37 inch tires
