Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- Anthony and Kathy have some RV experience with a travel trailer they owned previously. They decided to go with the slide in truck camper style so they have a low profile so they can store in their garage. They are able to drive this on the beach and go overlanding since it is mounted on a 4x4 1/2 ton Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck. Four Wheel camper offers the HAWK model in a basic shell that you an fit out the inside yourself or a complete model with production specifications.

I’m a new fan if this channel☺️.. I love this show and all the different ways to live camp and travel. I’m so inspired to build one myself now and take work on the road .. BTW this is the first time an owner has noted having carbon monoxide/ fire alarm detection- good job! 😆🙏🏻
Thank you very much. I enjoy your viewership
No they point them out all the time, or just see them. I’ve noticed on a couple of man made ones they weren’t there however, not safe.
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures - the roof looks thin. Do you hear the rain?
@@manofsan You bet!
I like this couple...I like their camper...I like the respect they give to each other...so refreshing in today's society...Gotta be that way if you are with each other 24 hours a day! Best of success to you on your travels!
Thank you Charley
"today's society" lol
Love this couple...they are nice people and I appreciate the way he doesn't over talk her and lets her do her thing while she lets him do his thing.
yes!!!!!Exactly
this is very rare couple. having the level of respect for each other. The way they show us how it should be done. Thank you to this couple. and to this channel
The basic shell is a fantastic option for a weekend warrior. Store all your gear inside and sleep in the overcab bed. A cooler, cassette toilet, camp chair and some bins and you are good to go. I would much rather have my bikes, inflatable SUP and kayak locked inside. Makes much more financial sense than a van build. It’s much easier to to divest of just the shell without taking a big financial hit on the vehicle.
Yes an eye opener for me
They have one called the project M you might like.
This is one of the best I've seen. My score 10/10. Nice couple, valuable advice and tips too.
Oh wow, awesome 👏🏼
That is the EXACT setup I've been lying awake at night thinking about ! I have been looking at the shell model so I could keep it light and add only what I need.
Love your camper! I had a Hawk on my F-150 for 14 years. I kept track of my nights and totalled 297 over night trips. It is perfect for weekend or even cross country trips. I drove it from California to the EAA air show in Oshkosh, WI one year. I decided to move up to a travel trailer and that was okay but not quite what I was looking for so I sold it and now have a 31' class C motorhome. It has all the bells and whistles but I'm seriously thinking of selling the C and going back to a new Hawk. With the Hawk I can go everywhere with it and it doesn't cost me $125 per month to store and $805 per year for license fees. With my Hawk I could cruise easily at freeway speeds without worry if I needed to brake or swerve like I do with the motorhome. Four Wheel is quality work. Thank you for sharing your video.
I’m getting a class b
I honestly think this is the best video on your channel and it has NOTHING to do with their rig. This couple is just absolutely amazing!! The way they RESPECT each other when the other is talking, the way they both look at each other. Just absolutely and amazing interview and the fact that they are so likable and respectful to each other I wish I could give this video 2 thumbs up!!!!
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful camper - I know you two are enjoying the heck out of this. So much in a very small space!! And this is one of those videos where I couldn't help but smile through the whole thing because these two people are obviously so happy together & respect what each other has to say.
We agree!
Thank you for the excellent tour of the Four Wheel Camper. Anthony and Kathy were so nice to share all the great information about the camper and the extra work that they put into making it so comfy and cozy.
Patrick , I hope someday you will have 1 million subscribers . All your videos do such an excellent job of showcasing all different types of rvs , trucks , campers , trailers , etc . Simply put, nobody does these type of detailed videos as good as you . Thank you for your dedication . Joe , In PA.
Joe, thank you very much. I love sharing the educational videos with the subscribers and newbies
Agree 🎉🎊🎉
educational indeed ..... and now we know what media blasting is .... well let me speak for myself .. hahahahahaha!!!!! .
love the channel ...💞
Its very rare to see a Hawk on a half-ton truck so I appreciated this video to get their expectances. Even 3 years later this helps with my purchase options.
I’m happy you found
That may be the best build I've seen, for a truck bed camper. Beautiful. Very, very close to what I would do. Truly outstanding.
Thank you for posting this video. You have a great channel.
What a wonderful couple, the way they communicate together is insightful. Thank you.
They are really a sweet couple who look like they did their homework. thank you for the review! This model and camp-x are the main ones I'm looking at. Thanks again, this is so helpful.
Thank you for checking in
Excellent interview, and the perfect amount of information. Don't know how this could have been better. Kudos to NJOA and Kathy and Anthony.
Thank you very much Michael
New Jersey folks are really nice and friendly I enjoy visiting my friend each time from Arizona .. originally a mass hole by default :)
Interesting option for a truck camper - maybe a good transition for a couple who wants to step up from tent camping.
Yes, totally agreed
This is a great video of a four wheel camper. Far better than the one I made a few years ago with a blurry Cannon camera. We really enjoy our Four Wheel Camper shell with a fold over couch, heater, solar.
Thank you very much
Campers are probably some of the nicest people I have ever met. This Camper is crazy awesome
this couple did a wonderful job
Thank you very much. It was great to meet them
I have a Hawk model, but mine has the sink , 3 way fridge, forced furnace two burner stove and a couple other features and love it! I bought mine new in 2007 and keep it on my truck pretty much all year around. And today if I wanted to sell it, I could probably get all my money back or more. Great investment!!! And this Four Wheel Camper company has just fantastic customer service!!!
Love the camper! And what a pleasant couple. Thanks Patrick!
Super clean build they did! Very articulate and well done tour.
Another great video. Thanks Patrick and your wonderful guests!
I’m looking at truck campers myself, and came across the Four Wheel Camper models. I too drive a 1/2 ton GMC AT4 model truck with a 6.2 L engine. This video was very informative, and honestly , Four Wheel Campers should pay this couple for a great advertisement! One of the best reviews I’ve watched. I’d probably opt for a Hawk that was already built out , but the shell intrigues me as the customization is endless. I’d hire this gentleman to build mine out in a heartbeat if he lived in NC. Great video. Glad I landed on it.
Great interview. Lovely couple and product...thanks
Well, Patrick, you did it again. You are like a bloodhound when it comes to finding the unique and awesome DIYs. Thanks to you and that wonderful couple!
😎✌🏻🤘🏻🤙🏻😎
Thank you very much. Love the hunt
Wow! This thing is awesome for quick man/woman getaways...fishing, hunting or just gotta get a way for a few days, or a nice long vacay. I would definitely want an awning and on the site they offer them that’s a good thing.
Thanks Patrick! Nice tour, thank the couple too!
I really like this gentleman he is very respectful of his wife when she is talking. I know they are being recorded but he seems like a great guy!!
Thanks Patrick for such an informative video! Such a nice couple & an AWESOME pop up camper!!!
Thanks to those Folks for showing their Camper to us. I have been interested in knowing more about this Model for a while. I do like the ease of not having to pull a Camper, plus the Mobility. He did a Great Job of fitting it out. The only things I would add, is a outdoor Shower and a Air Conditioning. Also a outside Awning would be nice. I like all the Headroom also. Very nice Camper and Great interview and Video.👍👍
Our pleasure!
This is the first pop top pickup camper I have seen. It seems to be a sound investment and plenty of room. Thank you for the tour and such a nice couple
Thank you 🙏🏼 I like this one too
Love the pop-up top!!! and he built a nice space there... Great travel home
Thank you very much
Thanks so much for sharing and showing the details of your camper. You were both very informative and helped to educate me. I am very impressed at the ease of ‘popping’ up the top. You always were very cleaver and handy with all of your precision adds. Great job. Happy trails.
Anthony and Kathy a pleasure listening to you.Great camper, thanks for the video Patrick. James UK.
Thank you James
What a beautiful couple! They both spoke real clear. I'd like to go camping with them as they sound like they like to have fun and are adventurous. Thank you for having them and thank you for asking some of the important questions I needed answered. Great job..
We agree!
Nice! FWC is in the next town over from me :-). Lots of full timers live in these including We're The Russos and Bound for Nowhere. I love how the Anthony and Kathy were able to customize it for their needs.
Thank you for the information
Lovely couple! The charcoal/black exterior of the truck and camper looks super sleek. I have seen the Russo's version and not a big fan of their colour combo. Theirs looks more like a tradie's truck (no disrespect to tradies!).
Nice camper. Wonderful people. Great interview. Congratulations!
You could not have picked a better couple to interview and tour this Camper, very nicely done, thumbs Up!
Thanks so much!
I've had my eye on one of these Hawks for a few months. This video is better than any of the vendor-made clips. Thank you!
Thank you very much
Amazing share. I have a 6.4" bed on my 1/2 ton 2019 Ram... looking into this.
That whole search conundrum used to be easily solved by going to the old Orchard Supply. They closed ours but I used to love that place because the employees were all older men (usually men) who loved to tinker, loved to build, and were so helpful to me while I was trying to build adaptive equipment for our daughter with sensory needs..if there are any of you out there, thank you for everything!
Really cool. I like the FWC Project M. More of a basic aluminum truck cap, but with the pop top, and a bed over the cab. They make high quality stuff !
Thank you Matt
GREAT VIDEO, love those pop ups, hard to find, but my nephew is on his second one, if I found one at a reasonable price, I would buy it in a heart beat, then I would finally need a pick up truck, (love the van by the way)nice job Patrick
Thank you for sharing with us ....that is a nice camper ...
safe travels💞
The BEST video EVER on this 4 wheel pop up camper. Thank you
Great tour, lovely couple… thank you, Patrick for another excellent video. ~ Maria
Sorry guys I have to come back with another commentary.. the smoke detector alarm is good where they put it the other alarm for invisible smells should be on Lower to the ground not on the roof they done it wrong right there.. propane gas is heavier than air and it will seep on Lower ground so if you're sleeping you won't wake up in the morning I highly recommend you put that alarm low to the ground no doubt it will ring before it gets to you..
Thank you for looking out
really nice camper.....i didn't even know that there was a pop up truck camper
Nice, affordable options for most people. Thanks
Love this! Thanks, Patrick😊
They’re both so calm and lovely
Thank you Leah
Solar panels on top can have air conditioner I love stuff like this y'all have a blessed year
Glad you enjoyed the tour
Love this tour and this couple!! Travel Safe!!!
What a beautiful truck camper!!! I live in the Northeast by NH and the reason pop tops arent too popular with us are the low winter temps and snowloads for sure!!
Thanks for the info!
Great hosts and another wonderful interview Patrick.
Thank you Ken
Great video. Their set up is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for checking this out
Lovely video, and a very lovely couple 🤗 It is so good to see and hear how they respect one another 💕
Thank you so much!
great video...thinking about going this route as well. Nice to see personal touches and additions to a basic shell.
Thank you very much
Awesome set up and tour ... Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much
Bless You, I have been looking for something like this that would be flat!
One of the things that can assist you in food storage is the freeze dried survival food where you can get a package that's three days worth of food so you get a number of those together and you don't even need any refrigeration and you've got some pretty amazing meals and of course if you have a refrigerator a small refrigerator you can always chop up a little bit of meat and add it to the freeze dried foods and voila you can have some pretty scrumptious meals and it doesn't take a whole lot of room out of your camper and you can put more food in your camper than you can otherwise and if you carry extra containers of water and if you have extra propane fuel you can stay out boondocking considerably longer, I'm just a few suggestions that may help you on longer trips where you can stay out longer enjoy the wilderness longer !!!
I love all that storage space
What an excellent video! I have been considering doing the overland, tent, camping. After this video though, I'm convinced this would be a much better buy with much more comfort.
Go for it!
I have alway like Patrick when he was / is selling Air Stream - Think his new show is great, beleive he knows the industry better than most.
Very nice and practical. Absolute freedom.
Very nice. Lots of good luck & keep safe! I may look into something like this, it seems to be the way to go! Ty
Amazing video Patrick, Thank you
Thank you much
What a wonderful couple and an awesome build.
Thank you Victor
Nice job guys, Excellent information.
When using battery power ..I recommend using double or two batteries. . don't use one battery and buy them both at the same time.. failure to do so the will older battery will cancel out the new battery.. hell yeah.😃
Good information
Very informative. Thank you! We are definitely thinking about purchasing one in a few years. Great video.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, their cabinetry is as nice, or nicer, than what Four Wheel provides.
love the intro Patrick awesome.
very nice walk thru.....travel safe!!
Thank you so much Anthony and Kathy. I am looking for something like this for my GMC 1/2 ton. My wife and I want to have something to supplement retirement travel stays in motels/hotels.
Thank you very much
Great Vid as always! Very nice couple! Best of luck to them!
Thank you Laura
great folks, great camper, great interview. I've been using google images to figure out the terminology for different widgets. take care
Thank you very much
Good vid! Thank you! I do own a shell model as well! They are great camper.
Right on!
Wonderful review, thanks
wow, a lot of important information, thanks
Thank you very much
Great video! Thank you. Very informative from beginning to the end. Very good Questions you brought up 👍🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Pretty sure I saw this package for sale before they bought it. Was a damn good deal in Oregon and wish I jumped on it.
Goodonyas! Good cadence...and content.
Nice couple and a good video!
Wow, that is a VERY WELL DONE INFORMATIVE video, thanks. I can say that with this information I´m can much better make my own choice which camper shell to choose for off-roading purposes. Thanks!
Great to hear!
Oh my God
How Lucky you are
You have great camper truck
Amazing video
Love your channel so much
Hopefully someday we can have camper truck like this
We come from Indonesia
Good Luck for you
You are spot on. Not easy to sorce something if you don't know what it is called.
A lot of people just go with one fan. You were really smart going with two. Way to go IMO.
Great ideas here
Such a nice camper the design n layout is perfect n great couple
Thanks so much!
Nice build and set up. Great detailed video. Thanks fot the insperation
You bet
Awesome. Love it. Thank you for sharing.

Great video.
Great video and good questions...NIce people and well done !!
Thank you very much
That is really well done.
Thank you very much
Cadence and ending each sentence on a high pitch ... I noticed that too... Nice build work ....
I like it as I have a Toyota Tundra, 4.7 Liter 48, 2X4 so it would not be able to haul a heavy camper. So this info was helpful. Nice to know there are many alternatives out there, but I need to find them in AZ. Thanks for the video. Liked your set up.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video and thank you for sharing
