    SOLD-2013 FWC Hawk Side Dinette San Diego, CA

    How funny - I just ordered my flatbed Hawk through Mario at AT last week and put down a deposit to get a flatbed made for it (flatbed not from AT). The Norweld is a sweet flatbed (thought that's what you said you'll be getting). I'll be bringing my truck up there mid-February to have AT install...

    Looking for an ARB 50qt Fridge Slide

    Desperately need to get to my beer more quickly and with less effort (even getting out of the damn camp chair is just about killing me). Can you help me?

    Hard Side Campers and Sand

    The last sand hill to get onto the point at San Quintin is the gatekeeper - good luck. Bring shovels.

    Callen Camper for 8' bed with ARB Awning, Galvanized walk-on rack $2000

    Great Baja proven Callen camper that was made to fit 8' bed. $2000 If you haven't heard about Callen campers, these were all custom made campers, constructed to withstand the beating that the dirt roads of Baja dish out. Old man Callen retired and handed his business off to his son, and in a...

    So. Cal.Offroad Fabricator Recommendations to Build Aluminum Flatbed for FWC Hawk

    You and I do have the same truck... pretty rare to see 8' bed double cabs with 4x4 and the 5.7 in it. I fricking love the truck, it's got 130k miles on it - I bought it new in 2007 and I can't part with it. Smart thing to do would be to get a new truck with deleted bed to put this new camper...

    So. Cal.Offroad Fabricator Recommendations to Build Aluminum Flatbed for FWC Hawk

    Thanks Nick - yes I'm also talking to a fabricator who mentioned the same thing - lost storage due to thickness of the tray, runners, etc. I'm waiting on an additional quote and am ordering my flatbed Hawk next week!

    So. Cal.Offroad Fabricator Recommendations to Build Aluminum Flatbed for FWC Hawk

    I checked out your build thread! Your camper is really cool and that "garage" is what I'm going for (but obviously it won't be as large as yours). Thanks for the info - I've been talking with Mario over at AT he said their flatbed is a few thousand less than the Norweld - price I saw online for...

    So. Cal.Offroad Fabricator Recommendations to Build Aluminum Flatbed for FWC Hawk

    Hey Nick, Is your flatbed exactly the length of the Hawk flatbed? I've got an 8' bed on my Tundra and wanted to use the extra foot and a half or so to mount a "garage" in front of the camper. Thanks, John

    So. Cal.Offroad Fabricator Recommendations to Build Aluminum Flatbed for FWC Hawk

    Thanks for the reply - I contacted Mario and had a nice chat with him today. It looks like I'm going to order the FWC through them and they will build the flatbed for it (also having him send me a quote to compare side by side with the Norweld ute tray... just in case). What did you go with on...

    So. Cal.Offroad Fabricator Recommendations to Build Aluminum Flatbed for FWC Hawk

    Greetings, Looking for a welder/fabricator to design and construct an aluminum flatbed for a FWC Hawk that will be ordered this week. I live in San Diego and have already checked out Highway Products and their aluminum flatbeds - they look great but they are located in Oregon. I'm hoping...

    Single battery setup vs Dual battery setup

    Single battery power source works. Don't worry about all the conjecture if it might work and so on... I'm here to tell you it does. I've been running this for three years now powering the largest ARB refrigerator on three week long trips to Southern Baja. During the day I open up my Zamp...

    On Board Hot Water Shower System

    I decided to keep it simple. I went with a propane on-demand hotwater heater (ecotemp- approx. $100) plumbed to a 20lb propane tank ($20). The heater is connected to a herbicide ATV sprayer tank that I bought from Tractor Supply ($119 I think), 30 gallons and it comes with a pump. I strapped...

    Hauling A Motorcycle With A Truck Camper

    Yep- sure does destroy your approach angle. But then again with a 4x4 Tundra, 8' bed with extracab wheelbase and a Callen on the back I'm not doing anything more formidable than driving out to the point at Punta Rosalilita (there's one descent that's loose and rocky and fairly steep) or across...

    How Useful is Solar in the Field and Which to Buy

    Just got back from three week Baja trip ran my large ARB freezer around -5 C the whole time powered off my single 31 series Sears battery (same one that starts the truck). I plug in a 120 watt Zamp solar portable panel anytime we're stopped for the day. If it was cloudy or we were driving most...

    Hauling A Motorcycle With A Truck Camper

    Just did three weeks in southern Baja with a DRZ400 mounted on a front rack with a Joe Hauler Cam Lock system. I cannot recommend the Joe Hauler Cam Lock more highly- it's a great design. Tighten up the nut on the front of the hauler and there's very, very little wobble. I even drove 24 dirt...
