2018 Four Wheel Camper Hawk - $19,900
The Story:
After owning a 2003 Eagle Camper model (and completely restoring it), and a fully loaded 2018 Hawk Camper, I have learned exactly what I love about FWC’s and what I (and others) really feel needs to be changed about them... So, I sold my fully loaded camper and set out to find an empty shell model. Once I found it, I built what I consider to be the perfect FWC. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. Lightweight and spacious with reliable systems using top of the line parts. This camper now has it all. Heat, water, (reliable) refrigeration, storage, room to move, and unlimited power. All professionally designed and installed by someone that lives and breathes this lifestyle and owns/ operates a licensed and insured shop specializing in camper and truck upgrades (yours truly). This isn’t meant to sound like bragging. It’s simply what I do for a living, and that should mean something when looking at a custom camper. I take great pride in what I do, and hopefully you will see that reflected in my work here.
Factory Options:
Custom work completed in order to add running water:
This camper is in near perfect condition. A couple small pinstripes from passing brush and trees. One dime sized dent on passenger side from a solar panel failing and coming off the roof (crappy grommets failed). No leaks, no hail damage, no funny smells, or any other surprises. The camper and all cushions still look and smell new. Camper has been garaged its entire life (in between trips of course). Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Thanks for looking!
