    -Great condition
    -Loaded with options & features
    -Everything works well
    -Interested buyers please read the details below

    Will Fit Most Full Size Trucks

    This camper was originally made for 2007-up Toyota Tundra, so it should fit just about any full-sized short bed truck out there without a spacer platform under the camper, including Super Duty Fords. One possible exception is the newest F150s, which may need a small spacer. Please confirm compatibility with your truck through FWC or your own research.

    This is a loaded camper; I believe it has most of the options available when it was built, as well as a few updates & minor repairs since I’ve owned it (see below). It’s very clean inside and out, and overall is in excellent condition, the areas that I don’t consider excellent are noted below. I’m more particular than many, but in my mind it’s appropriate to share these details.

    Second Owner

    I purchased the camper from the original owner in October 2011 and have the original paperwork and keys. It appeared to receive just a little youthful use, so there were a few niggles. I took the camper to the FWC factory in Woodland, Calif., to have things sorted, and gave it my typical vehicular care.

    This camper was purchased and set-up with every intention of using and keeping it for many years. I’m very happy with it and it’s ready to mount and travel. The only reason I’m selling is that other modifications to my current Tundra project vehicle dictate that I have a shorter camper (tire/fuel swing-away).

    Fire Extinguisher


    Improvements/Changes/Repairs

    This camper is very nice, though there was some maintenance, minor repairs, and upgrades performed, and I’m a full disclosure kind of guy.

    -FWC removed the large, original surfboard rack that was atop the camper (made out of aluminum, by FWC as part of the original sale). Two FWC employees removed the rack, meticulously went over the roof removing old sealant and resealed the screw holes.

    -New battery isolator and wiring by FWC from the battery to outside.

    -Odyssey 31M-PC2150. This is a $400 battery, and just fits in the battery space (I needed to loosen/lift the forward couch bracket). This battery is much better than the OE Group 24, which needed replacing.

    -LED entry/floor light (new) instead of old Halogen that can get hot, replaced by FWC.

    -Door fixes. 1) The door got away from the original owner in the wind and the stop put a hole in the door (didn’t go through or damage the screen). FWC sealed the hole, put a metal plate across the door to prevent it happening again (pretty common apparently), and moved & reinforced the doorstop (see picture).
    2) It wasn’t needed, but to insure the door seals very well, I had FWC replace the perimeter door seal rubber.

    -Original keys and I had extra keys made.

    -The Orig. owner closed the camper top on a large flashlight that was sitting on the refrigerator cabinet, cracking the lower lift panel. I had FWC inspect this, and they said it’s fine, and not worth replacing the panels or adding a patch, which would be more unsightly than the overbite/crack you see in the picture.
    Orig. owner also watched movies on a monitor he attached to the rear panels with Velcro. Removing the Velcro tape took a little ‘wood’ veneer with it.

    -Some rust on the rear roof steps (because Orig. owner lived by the ocean).

    -Left-front jack mount has a very slight reward angle to it, FWC said it must have been bumped at some time, and also said it’s fine and to leave it alone.

    -There was a small water leak (drip) under the sink when under pressure that I found. I replaced the offending fitting with new. Does not leak anywhere.

    -New water heater anode by FWC (these are sacrificial and need replacing occasionally).

    -New outside shower sprayer. I didn’t like the OE outside shower head (still have it) so I used the OE quick connect fitting and attached a new sink sprayer to positively control the use of shower water. Works better.

    -Refrigerator burner orifice and tube were checked and were clean. The end of the burner had surface rust (living by the ocean) which was causing poor, incomplete combustion when the refer was on gas. It was cleaned and the refer starts and runs perfectly with a nice blue flame after just 1-2 clicks of the ignition. A professional, certified Norcold technician performed this maintenance. The refrigerator and freezer work fantastically.

    After going through three iterations of "Off-road" trailers, I can honestly say I finally feel like I've found the perfect exploration setup for us with the Four Wheel Camper. The setup just works. It's compact, fast, comfortable and still affords one the opportunity to get dressed while standing up. To say that I've been very pleased with my FWC Hawk would be an understatement.

    I've seen the above FWC in person and think Redline has done a great job representing the camper. I think it's a very clean unit. In fact, I tried to steal that awesome battery when he wasn't looking, but he caught me.

    Bump.

    James,

    I think this must mean another smaller FWC is in your future?

    Yes, and that's the only reason I'm selling this Hawk.

    Another bump for a great camper.

    Can't wait to see the new one.

    By the way, I agree with 24hours, we love ours and could not imagine being without it. That is until I put a flat bed on my truck and have a camper built for it.

    Thanks for the bump jack. Though I've not owned this unit a long time, it's a good one and I'd like it to go to a good home.

    Like you and 24HRS, I'm liking the utility of a pop-up cabover.

    I've received some calls and interest, but as of this writing this very nice Hawk is still for sale.

    Thanks,

    Smile Very Interested

    I am very interested in your camper. I have a 2005 Tundra so it will work fine. I live about 600 miles south of you. How can I contact you to agree to a price and put some money down on it. I would be able to pick it up late next week. I am willing to offer you $12,900. Fred...
