I picked up this Four Wheel Camper in March 2020. The model is a Hawk Shell 6.5 length for a full size Pickup. It was delivered to the FWC dealer in Bozeman, Montana.
The Shell is very basic, so I was able to customize it for my needs. I ordered it so it would be capable of Winter camping. Furnace, 2 burner stove, 160 watt solar panel on roof, 2 battery system, thermal pack, fold out couch, an extra ceiling fan, Yakima track system for roof rack and I choose the black exterior. Total weight is 945 pounds.
Couch
Ceiling fan and couch.
Propane furnace and 2 burner stove.
Stove with flush mount counter top.
Couch in foldout position.
With the rooftop popped up, the queen size bed over the cab.
Camping in The Blackhills of South Dakota on return trip from Bozeman, Montana. This was in March as a small snowstorm blew in that night. Nice and cozy with the furnace and thermal pack.
A bit of Snowboarding in Wyoming near Togwotee Pass.
Ride on!

Hey, I have a black F-150 6.5ft bed as well and am waiting for my Hawk camper to be delivered. What (if any) suspension mods did you do to get the camper to ride so level in your truck bed? Thx!
Hey,
The 2 modifications that I did to my F-150 was E-rated tires, I am running the Goodyear Duratracs - 275/70/18. The other addition is the Timbren rear suspension.
The key is how you distribute the weight also. I carry my large cooler right behind the driver seat, that leaves me with access to the single fold down seat. I don’t carry very many passengers. Some heavy tools can be stashed in rear seat area.
I’m actually pretty close on my max payload. I do tow a cargo trailer that carries most of my outdoor gear. Plus my RZR side by side ATV is in trailer and that is loaded to balance my ton weight.
