Starting to customize my FWC shell.

[DRYVEM]

Got the new FWC a couple months ago. We really love it but as always I like to modify for our needs. First order of business is an outdoor kitchen and an awning. I will post pics of other mods as I can.

Just subscribed to your thread. I am building out the inside of my new Hawk shell. and will be looking for ideas.

Slick! What kind of awning is that? It looks well supported.

 

[DRYVEM]

The awning is an Aleko 6' x 5' camper awning. $399 on amazon. The supports are self storing.

I like the fold down counter. However, just wondering... is it illegal to block the rear turn signals?

Awning measurement

Can you give me the actual overall length of the awning. I have only 6 ft of room to mount
thanks=brian

 

[DRYVEM]

Keyne, Yes it is illegal to block the tail light. On the chevy from behind it is completely unobstructed. From the side the lower half is visible which has a tail and turn. So completely legal and usable.

Brian, the total length is 6' 6" end to end. the mounts are in quite a ways. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip on the awning. Looks very similar to a Fiamma except half the price. Please keep us posted on the durability.

wow- that counter is ************

Love the idea! I have yet to take my Hawk on its first tour but I am thinking that, weather permitting, I will always opt to spend most of my awake-time outside of the camper. I am also a little concerned about cooking smells working their way into the fabrics in the camper. This may not happen but it has crossed my mind.

Dirt?

Doesn't the shelf get really dirty as you travel? Is there a trick to keeping it clean?

OP ~ how has the awning held up?

Sold the camper a year ago. Awning was still great when we sold it.

thanks for the reply, seems like a decent budget option.
