    That's exactly how I felt three months ago! Can't wait to see pics of your new camper on your truck.

    Congrats... you'll love it! Alice and I are just wrapping up a 9 day trip with our Hawk. Having a FWC is like having another truck though. You end up making mods to it along the way to better suit your needs. So far in the last few months that we have had ours (used 2002 that we were lucky to find in Phoenix) we have added more battery capacity, redesigned the seat bench, added a fantastic fan, added a Swampy Evap unit, added a Shady Boy Awning, and added a power inverter to power/charge any needed electrical items. It is SOOO much better than tent camping. Even better than the RTT that we used to use. I think the biggest advantage is that you feel much more secure in foul weather, especially windy conditions.

    Does this mean you won't be updating your 'FWC's found on Craigslist' thread anymore? I really liked that one.....

    Congrats on pulling the trigger. Now just sit back an wait for the impact.

    The used market has slowed kcowyo.....and on top of that I simply HAD TO take a break after ordering the new one. With my luck *the* unit would have showed up that next day for 7K...so I figured I'd give CRAZEDLIST a break for a few days...just in case!

    aqnyone can do it though...so hey...don't be shy folks!

    mtn-high anticipation
