Congrats on the new camper. We looked at Hallmark before deciding on a Four Wheel Camper. Good luck on your travels. A blog would be a great way for people to keep up with your travels. I would suggest joining Wander the West as there is a lot of good ideas and plenty of help for pop-up owners. Longhorn

Congrats, you'll really enjoy using it. We have almost the same camper that we picked up last year, a K2, which is the 8' model. You can see ours on Hallmark's website. We're the first set of pictures on their opening page

The outside storage boxes are great, I keep all my "truck stuff", ie. tools, bogart jack, etc in one and then grill and other messy items in the other. Great places to store things that can be smelly and dirty. One thing though, those boxes are not waterproof. I had tried putting some weather stripping around the door and rain still gets in. I ended up drilling some weep holes so accumulated water would drip out.

I like the idea with the sand ladder/table. Been wanting to come up with something similar.

Terrific setup!
Carli or Thuren can dial in the suspension if desired. A cheap Hellwig swaybar really helps.

Congrats on your Everest.
We ordered one last month for our F-350 and should pick it up this spring. Ours is similar to your except we got the solar panels and didn't get the rear boxes (although I might have to rethink that..)

Be sure to show us some picks of it in the wild!

Also, did you get a chance to weigh your camper yet?

Interior Pictures

When I was trying to make up my mind about which camper I should go with, I could not get enough of interior details. I hope these photos helps someone.

• One-piece carbon-fiber reinforced molded fiberglass composite roof popped up.

• You can crack the roof up and it takes 5 minutes or you can just use a drill and it will be up in 30 seconds.

• Light switches for interior and exterior are by the door for easy access.

• When I got into camper it was chilly 25 F degree. It took 20 minutes to reach comfortable 62 F.

• North-South Cab-Over bed. With this option you also get additional storage and 12v output on each side. Two plastic L shaped brackets on the ceiling are for storing the table top.

Interior Pictures II

• There is a generous amount of storage under the bed. It is easy to lift with the help of struts on each side.

• Molded polycarbonate upper cabinetry.

• Stereo Unit. It has bluetooth, usb, DVD, alarm, aux input, headphone output and option to add 3 sets of speakers.

• Fridge. I got 2-way Nova-Cool, 4.3 Cubic Feet (122 Liters), 12V - 4.4 amp.

• Piezo Cooktop & Oven Combo with 3 burners.

• Mini closet by the fridge and vanity mirror.

Hallmark Everest Interior Pictures III

• Dinette/Bed. Table can rotate and slide.

• Table is removed and the space is converted to bed. I am 5.10" and there is 3 or 4 inches behind my feet.

• Emergency Exit. The window is hinged on top so whole window flips out. It is nice to have big opening to pass things.

• 220V to 110V step down converter under the sink for our European part of trip.

• Thetford Cassette Toilet. Panel slides out for privacy. I have not attached the curtain but the rails in place.

If you ever want to go to Europe with this Truck then make the front cab supports detachable, otherwise the police will fine you with this anchors.
Our police is very picky about "dangerous parts" on vehicles tat could hurt a pedestrian if you run over one. Really picky....

And checkout that the battery charger you are sure going to install can handle all voltages from 110-240V with 50 and 60Hz.

Terrific setup!

This. I put rear Hellwigs on my 2015 GMC 2500 with a Hallmark Guanella. Oh man, it made a great difference in handling. I think they were about $450 installed.

Great pics and very similar to ours with the exception of the oven and inverter.
The storage space with the Norht/South bed is one of the reasons we went with Hallmark!

Nice set-up!

The big question is, as a fellow Canadian waaay out East, how complicated was it to import the camper? Did it require an inspection? How much were taxes and custom fees? Etc.
