I had a 2017 flatbed hawk and sold it for a 2020 Hallmark UTE. While we haven't lived in the UTE yet, I wouldn't have switched if I didn't think we'd benefit from the change... Hopefully fully assembled pics this month.
A few of the benefits for us...
Truth be told, we loved our FWC, it allowed us to go and do things tent camping would have taken way too much effort to do. I would still be happy in my old rig today, but I do have an opportunity for change and I still feel like the hallmark is an upgrade.
A few of the benefits for us...
- bunk bed (we have 3 kids so this gives the older 2 their own bed)
- dedicated bathroom/shower (showering inside the FWC works but it's not convenient)
- a roof you can walk on and realistically store things up there if needed
- air conditioning to help fall asleep on those hot nights
- custom build possibilities
- rear entry 8.5' offers more usable living space.

Quick weekend camping trip last weekend. No complaints from either of us.

I was gearing up to sell my 350 to put funds into my suburban. Then one morning I woke up and saw your truck and camper. Now I’m looking for a camper for my truck and thinking of letting the suburban go. Great setup. ??

The Rams have extremely stiff hydoformed frames. Compliant suspension and a stiff frame makes for hoods and doors that open.
