Hello all,
I know this has been beat to death and yes, I have done a search and read a thing or two but here goes.....
I'm looking at an early 90's FWC Hawk, an early to mid 90's Skamper and a yet to be determined Probably 90's also) Sun-lite.
I know that the 4 Wheel campers are highly regarded and Skampers are less so due to wood construction.
I'm not planning to beat it up too much since it is going on an F250 7.3 diesel which is too big and heavy for serious wheeling.
(Although washboards can sure do some damage)
Anyway, I think It's going to come down to the over all condition of the units AND the floor plan and amenities.
I don't care too much about a bathroom since the weight it would ad would make it too heavy.
I'd like to hear from anyone who has had any of these three. How do you like them?
One thing about the FW Hawk is that bench seat. I kinda like it, but I kinda don't. It seems to waste space and from what I have seen,
it doesn't allow for the cozy U shaped 'nook' seating with table (that every other camper has), which makes it nice for eating or playing games.
Not to mention the fact that it forces you to face directly opposite of the HUGE side window that would provide you with the great view
when parked next to the ocean or wherever. And about that HUGE window on the FW Hawk, in a way, it's a great thing but it's also a waste
of space especially when you are forced to sit with your back to it on a bench. Kinda defeats the purpose....or is there something I am missing?
Please share you experience with me.
Thanks for any input on this.
