The wood is a backing plate for strength to go on the inside of the cupboard that why its bigger then the metal plate

This is so helpful. My Dad and I are about to go in on this combo (fleet, but on an F150). I really want to add the drawers; any chance you made that video or would be able to share how you went about it? Thanks!

To save space in your storage area, try a captured nut sunk into the wall. Many different options for wood. This would eliminate the nut and bolt protruding into your storage. Great video!

My thermal pack turns the corner and tucks behind the front and rear locking plates

you two are fkn nuts............. I'm subscribing, fuck it....

Which table mount model did you go with? thanks.

You did a wonderful job. On your cushions. R. Ordway

Thanks for the video I have a stock 2017 Silverado 4x4 Crewcab and I’m wondering if it will handle the weight of a hawk shell? In my glove box it says max slide in camper is 750LBS How’s your truck Handel the weight? Thanks

Wonder if I cut and fit fleece blankets with more r value for 40 bucks, if that would work even better

Thank you for a professional tour of your rig changes. I appreciate your quick cuts and narration over B-roll. I like the way you keep the camera in motion, varying the background scenery. . Your superb product is needed among many thousands of dregs videos!

I like the idea, I'm thinking about a Hawk 4 wheel camper , I just wonder why you didn't go with 6 inch high

October, 2022. Based on your editing skills plus the personalities of the two spokes-models, I still say you could head to the big-time as full-time TH-camrs. Opinion.

Hello, Just found your channel and you guys do a great job on the videos. I see you havent posted in awhile. Hope you havent quit already. I saw in one of the videos you said you had a palomino pop up before the FWC. Just wondering why you switched? I'm on the east coast and the palominos are more easily available. Unfortunately all these pop ups are getting super expensive. Even the Hawk Shell starts at $17,000 now. The project M looks interesting and starts at $11,000.

Well I guess I just might as well subscribe to your channel. All the weirdo stuff I’m trying to figure out about my Fleet shell has led to your videos twice now. 😊 Little camper on big truck and now thermal pack video. Your videos are fun, funny and informative. I can’t wait to get out there!

Have you upgraded your mattress?

Buy velcro tape lol

July, 2022. We miss the crew...

I like ur camper setup but the thermal pack that u have, where did that come from? Was that an outside purchase? thks rox

Question: how does your truck ride on off roads. I have a 1500 4×4 long bed and I'm looking around

Love the trout

what is the thermal pack material?

Any thoughts on if it would be better to round the corners of your table, now since you've been using it. Thanks for video and details as I'm going to install a Lagun within the next few days in my 20+ yr old FWC Eagle. My install will be different than yours but everybody probably has their own custom install. Your video helped me think about how/where to place the mounting plate and consider how to access the backside for bolt installation.

Great idea: gives you extra storage for kitchen and fly rods/nets👍 The cap day on some-type of support before? 👍B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

Just found your channel 👍 Great content and excellent explanations…. Good camper choice! 👍B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

Good to see another channel from a fellow 4WC owner, will look forward to future videos. Cold nights are a challenge, especially the condensation. We use reflectix for those really cold nights. Sounds like you did ok for 1 degree!

Very useful video! Subscribing!

I personally thought this was a very good video. My wife & I are first-time FWC Hawk owners with a 2013 used camper. We do not have thermal packs in ours and don't know when we will be able to find the extra money for them. This gives us some great pointers. Plus, we have two struts in the middle of our camper and would like to have four struts, two front and two in the back. And one more thing...we would like to have solar set up and that seems daunting to us. And I don't want to screw something up by digging in and learning as I go. Yet, I don't want the fear to stop us from trying. This video is spot on for where we are in our FWC'ing life right now. Thank you very much!

I’d sand each side of the rails a little with 220 grit and then light synthetic oil. Update?

Thank you guys for putting this content out! Having a similar issue with my 2013 f-150. This idea pretty much works perfect In my truck too! I have 2 questions if you don’t mind! 1.Did you choose the length of the drawers to Be longer than the bed of your truck so you had less overhang of the camper? I was thinking about wanting to keep the drawers in even without the camper in it, and adding the tailgate back. 2. Did you screw into the bed to secure the platform?? Thanks again, love the build, and I’m stoked to get out there myself this summer! 🙏🏼

11:04 I realize we sound as though we are the Weirdos Of Redundancy. . We had two FourWheelCampers with built-in furnaces. We also carried (the olden days equivalent of) a Wave 3 catalytic heater with a dedicated propane bottle. We also carried a Coleman semi round-head propane heater labeled 'Outdoors Only!'... ...nicknamed 'the Blast Furnace'. . Why so freaked about cold? We kayak and SCUBA along the east coast of the Pacific, water temperature in the 40s and low 50s America-thermometer degrees. We dove Tahoe with 2' of snow. Shivers is no fun.

10:30 In our ExpeditionVehicle, we have two smoke detectors from different manufacturers, two CO detectors from different manufacturers, and we always burn propane with two open windows on opposing walls. . re -- Coleman two-burner stove Just last week, I shut off the 4.2-gallon 15# bottle at its triangle valve. I time the cooking burn to use the gas in the hose, instead of it leaking past the connections. That once, I allowed the burner to sputter out, then shut off the stove valve. . We closed the lid, and tucked it back into its cubby. Looking at your stove, I see a similar valley beneath the rack. That valley collected and held the few seconds of gas between the sputter and me closing the stove valve. . Next use, I opened the bottle valve as usual, then opened the stove valve as usual, and clicked the hand-held sparker. Yumping! Yehoosifat!, that squidgen of left-over juice wallowing in the bilge made quite the impression. A foot-high ball of hotness inches from my face. . Moral of the story: * Stick with the rules. Winging it, ad lib, sh**ting from the hip can be 'entertaining', but not in a good way.

10:06 Do you have an in-line filter? Corrosion and gunk anyplace in the (thousands of miles and dozens of vessels) custody-chain can contaminate the heater innerds.

08:01 I realized I was smiling... then I realized you set the scene with the lighting and the rig. Nice work!

Its more than likely the sail switch. we had to remove the flexible duct from the heater itself to the grill/diffuser. it affects the sail switch which is a safety feature. I was told by a dealer that it either needs to be a smooth piece of duct or nothing...we have nothing and it works fine..he said he has talked to four wheel and they just wont change it, im sure its more money to do it right...you might try it...

Buddy's FWC has heater issues. Was a battery capacity problem. He now has two 12 volt batteries instead of one.

Another awesome video! Love the truck camper setup! Had a heck of a time fishing too. Looks like you caught a lot. Me and my pup just got into truck camping! you'll have to check my channel out! Keep up with the awesome content!

If you open the valve quickly on the propane bottle it will cause the regulator to not allow gas to flow to the item. Close valve, dis connect line, re connect line turn valve on slowly. Great video by the way!!! Best one to date!!

Loved this. Especially since I live in Florida. I miss Colorado and the mountains. Cold and Snow. Camping.

Nice video

Everything looks awesome. I am looking at the shell model myself.

"Excuse me sir!, ahem!" 🤣 Good times and great vid!

I'm in.....Nice day in the canyon!. Curious, what boots are you wearing to hike and fish in? Rubber soles?

What is the size of the wood top? Is it mounted at the center point? Thanks!

That bird is an American Dipper.

Sailrite has any and all fabrics including the car cover fabric as its known. but if you are going to make your own there is a product called Warm Window that is 10x better...FYI....

We are glad our tutorial on building a thermal pack was helpful. Too bad you two don't live closer. We would have supplied spare material, helpful pointers, and gotten Nancy over here to sew on the extensions. FYI, we prefer the window openings to roll up toward the ceiling and not down. It is much more out of the way. Also, we've heard the fabric is getting harder to get and that All Terrain Campers has switched to a new material for their thermal packs. I'll get down to see what they are using in a month or so. We enjoy your energy and positive attitudes and a young couple that enjoys fly fishing! Enough said ;). Best of luck with your projects.

I bet your farther is super proud of you guys!!!!! ….. wait…. 🤔… he is!!!

Love it!!!!!

Sweet! . PS: You two are naturals at this. Quick cuts, great music, interesting angles, fun text, loving relationship with shared values. Please, continue. Just be yourselves.

2003, we converted a 1996 Ford CF8000 commercial truck to our concept of an ExpeditionVehicle. After removing the rear roll-up door, I fabricated a steel wall and door. I fabricated a rear porch with roof... we are headquartered in rainy Oregon, a roof over the entry seems practical, a spot to stamp muddy boots and sandy sandals. I made the deck of expanded steel, similar to stout window-screen (to eliminate moisture under the mattress, the bed platform is similar expanded steel). With a shower-curtain (or not...), this porch makes a dandy place to shower. . We prefer the rear entry. Approaching through the door, we think the lengthwise view gives a sense of visual and visceral openness. Based on our experiences, a side entrance slams the view against the opposite wall... exasperated/exaggerated if cabinets further restrict the space. . We would enjoy hearing your opinions on your rear entrance compared to shopping side-entry RecreateVehicles at dealers or shows! .
