Four Wheel Pop Up Camper Walk Around | Hawk Model (2019)

[@knobbiesshreaded3137]

Why do people selling RVs always say, "and this is YOUR blah blah blah". It isn't mine. It is a feature for a perceived need. It is a THE furnace, window, door, fan, etc on and on... I would love to have a Ram3500 with a FWC on the back. Sell the dream without sounding like just another RV dealer selling junk trailers that rot out in two years.

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Man, you took the time to watch the video and write a paragraph on how you don't like common communication practices? I bet you're a blast at parties 🙄 I'll keep your tips in mind if I ever sell RVs. I was just showing folks this one in case they wanted to see it

[@knobbiesshreaded3137]

@@SirWilliamGoes At Parties? Do you wander the room explaining to people...Here is YOUR dip, YOUR beverages, YOUR host. This is YOUR advice on how to improve your videos. Count how many times you say you and your. Nice Rig!

[@BRTreedogs]

Do you have a video on the swing out tire carrier?

[@SirWilliamGoes]

I dont. Its pretty standard set up I wanna say from AEV

[@malexking8394]

All the way from Fiji 🇫🇯. How much does this cost?

[@SirWilliamGoes]

There are many options available you will have to check with four wheel pop up campers for pricing

[@malexking8394]

@@SirWilliamGoes thanks alot sir

[@tomasinotampus4077]

can set down and work when the pop is down?

[@SirWilliamGoes]

You can probably sit

[@littlemoo52]

is that a pass through window? thought about having one of the kids sleep in the back seat of the truck but still be able to communicate throughout the night.

[@SirWilliamGoes]

I'm not sure I can't recall

[@1N2345]

man i want one of those... gotta save up a bit

[@henryi9738]

That was very useful, thank you so much ! *subscribed

[@SirWilliamGoes]

glad you enjoyed you're welcome

[@DustyCowdog]

Curious about how the durability of the flexible fabric part. If someone is living full time in that -- a few days or weeks in one spot and then off to another, is that fabric stuff going to last? I love these things. Cheers!

[@SirWilliamGoes]

I wouldn't foresee any issues at all with it. While visiting their factory I saw some really old units that appeared to still have the same fabric on them

[@countryflyer4536]

the guy doesnt even know the difference between furnace and water heater and they are not one in the same...

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Lol

[@rodrigocastroosorio9659]

Great video very informative thanks

[@alvashoemaker8536]

This is a sweet unit; Thanks for your review--- 🙃😃👣

[@dlg5485]

Nice setup. My dream rig is a log bed Tacoma with a nicely equipped FourWH Fleet with the front dinette. These can be pretty expensive campers when you load them up with options, but when you consider how well built and rugged they are, and all the great features you can get in such a compact package, it's not too bad of a price. FourWH makes the best popup campers, in my opinion.

[@SirWilliamGoes]

I agree. That is a good set up. Hell I'd get just the base camper and build it out

[@garyellis6112]

How do you put it in the truck and take it out? Seems like a great little unit.

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Slides in the bed and is anchored down

[@driver8M3]

How difficult is it to mount and remove the camper if you want to use your truck without it?

[@SirWilliamGoes]

They make these jacks that go on the side to lift it up a bit and u just drive right out from under it. Some folks even do this at camp

[@genius-no5sl]

This is a really great set up .

[@SirWilliamGoes]

I think it's definitely amoung the best

[@woolengrappler]

Could you fit two adults or kids on the lower dinette bed?

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Yes

[@tmason0717]

Congratulations on a smooth, thorough and informative walk around product demonstration.

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Thanks glad you enjoyed

[@kkrankie]

Great review- will be looking for this at the RV show. Question, when the spare is swung out of the way , does it latch open? Hate to have the wind push the spare to the closed position while you are inside with the door closed!

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Yes it does latch. I was always more worried about someone coming and close it!!!

[@wcompto]

Nice camper, but why does it look like it’s not all the way into the truck bed?

[@SirWilliamGoes]

you dont want it butted up to the bed I wouldn't think because it would rub and cause issues

[@sheepdog819]

That's quite a few, "first and foremost". Lol this IS my next purchase.

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Hahaha. It's crazy when you make a vid with all the takes and what not and then when you go back and edit all the little things like that you catch. Does that happen with your videos too? Thanks for watching!

[@robertyee4331]

how much is this model in video....in Canadian dollars??.....any flat bed versions of this model?? any branches in Canada?? Province of Ontario??

[@PS987654321PS]

Why buy this over an Alaskan?

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Haven't seen or been in the Alaskan but they start 10k higher so that may be one reason, budget.

[@dannyixoye262]

NIce but I do not like the pop up part itself. I think the push up of the top may be a problem for some such as me. I have an 80s Sun LIte that is cranked up with not much effort for me and I'm 65. Pushing up the top would be difficult for me due to a weak left arm. Further the vinyl sides look cheap and the windows even cheaper and way too small to enjoy any views compared to my Sun Lite. The windows on the Sun Lite is almost 3 times that size. Back in the day, the front opening on the pop up was designated as an emergency exit. I don't see how you can get out if the door is not accessible due to fire or what ever. Lastly the cost of one of these is totally off the chart for what I see here in this video

[@SirWilliamGoes]

The top is really easy and assisted with gas struts. I think that crank would be faulty after just a few off-road trips make it filled with gunk, if it didn't stop working completely it would probably be pretty difficult. I felt the same about the material until I saw it in person, I assure you it's a heavy duty material. There was an old model in for repair at the factory that a tree fell on and the first think I looked at was the top which was still good. The side windows are emergency windows that do what your talking about as well as slide vs crank for easier access. I think the prices are in line, after all it's 100% full welded aluminum frame construction vs wood. That all being said there are others out there if this one doesn't meet your preference.

[@dannyixoye262]

@@SirWilliamGoes Thank you for getting back to me. From what you said about gunk in the crank up, I don't think you understand how some of the older pop ups were made. The Sun Lite, who is no longer in business, had the crank inside the camper just below the front bunk on the wall. My pop up is 37 yrs old and there is no problem with it going up and down on the crank track. I think if any gunk got in it it would be because I was driving with the top up with all the windows open. What you must be thinking of are those that had the crank placed on a corner outside of the camper and ya I would agree with you there. I like the fact that yours is built with aluminum framing but mine is not that heavy dry with a heater, frig stove top, sink, and a water tank that I don't use plus some storage cabinets. It has about an 8ft. floor and I currently use it on my 2015 Ram 1500 ecodiesel, 6 1/2 foot bed with tailgate down with the only mod of putting on Timbren bump stops on the rear to help with squat and the OEM coil springs are not overloaded and still dampen the ride. My truck however is not set up for hard trail adventures. If it were I would set it up for that but I'm not doing hard trail adventures with it, just light trail adventures. As far as the windows, my emergency exit is at the front and easily zips open and it's large enough that I can get out quickly and then roll out, meaning getting out, on the top of the truck, hood then the ground. On the one you have, I can't go out the front but rather the sides, which look small to get out of and would have to roll out with nothing softening my way to the ground. And the helper struts to lift the top, I think those will need to be replace long before my crank and it is already 37 yrs a head. =) Plus, I think the struts are just a cheap way to raise the top. That is why you find them on many vehicle hoods today, that and the use of a pole support, instead of the spring coils that used to be standard in the car/truck industry. Anyway I'm not really knocking the camper I just think that part of it's construction material is more on the cheaper side. Hey I would like to ask though if when you use the heater on cold days or nights does condensation build up on the vinyl walls and ceilings? Mine only builds up on the ceiling on the top bunk, when I forget to vent the area, but not on the sides because the sides are canvas inside and vinyl type material outside... Enjoy your adventures!!! and be safe out there..

[@SirWilliamGoes]

@@dannyixoye262 condensation happens with anything I leave the windows vented to reduce/eliminate most of it

[@FWCaptain-kv6sm]

Sir William Goes I’d like to try one but for 35 plus g Canadian ????? Idk

[@sgtprep]

Can you get one with a crawl through to the cab of the truck ? That’s the kind of camper set up I’m looking for .

[@SirWilliamGoes]

There is a company called Tiger that makes crawl through I believe though they are a bit different than the lightweight removable option the FWC provides.

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

cool

So if someone decides to lock your spare wheel into position while you're sleeping....

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Then 1 you hang out with some real ass holes 2 you would have to go out the emergency exit. It's a go anywhere vehicle, you shouldn't be camping around anyone else!!

@@SirWilliamGoes Putting an ARE MX topper on my 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation for some 4 day weekend expeditions until I retire in about 2-3 years, then it's a Hawk for me! I'll probably go with the shell and just use all my "stuff" (Camp Chef stove, Dometic fridge/freezer, solar system, Trail Kitchens sink and Camp Chef Triton water heater, etc) that I'll be getting as soon as my topper comes in.

[@SirWilliamGoes]

@@wasichuwacanta7010 that's literally my plan!!!! I have a tundra we are putting a camper top on something like an are we will travel in a tt for a couple years but then I will put a truck based system like fleet or hawk she'll so I can have control of functions.

[@wasichuwacanta7010]

@@SirWilliamGoes Great minds think alike, apparently!! It's just me and my Blue Pitty, and with the width of the bed in the new Sierra, I can sleep widthwise, so a 38" wide bed will sit on the wheel wells and I'll have over 3' of length left for all my "stuff". I lived in my tipi for 3 years at 9200' in the Colorado Rockies, so spending 4-day weekends in the bed of a truck in warmer climes will be a breeze; although at 66 years old, what used to be a breeze is sometimes gale force winds, but we'll persevere!
