The owner of this Silverado HD2500/4WC Hawk set-up CLEARLY stated that he came from a tent-camping background, so the challenges of tent-camping issues in his popup rig didn't bother him ie. condensation, wind noise, and limited space. An issue comes up, he handles it no fuss no muss. He's going solo and packs ALOT of his stuff in the HUGE rear passenger compartment of his crewcab...so what? Where else are you going to store other things in a popup such as this? He doesn't mind it. This type of rig is obviously not for many, full-timers or not, who are criticizing him here. But, its perfect for him...IT IS PERFECT FOR HIM. My take is that his rig allows him to get to the many off-road places beyond the groomed shore-powered campgrounds where RVers park and hook up. His style reminds me of backpacking full-time and traversing this big beautiful country not on foot, but in a vehicle that IS his "backpack"...a backpack that carries him instead of the other way around lol. He gets to drive in comfort to his next destination faster than his two feet can carry him...and once he's there he gets to hike and explore the areas if he chooses with the comfort of knowing theres a "tent" with pretty good amenities waiting for him at the end of the day... including a cassette toilet and interior/exterior shower. Yes...4WC offers cassette toilet and shower options in the Hawk. Popups are perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors once they get to their destination, not so much for those who like to get there and hang out in their RVs, van conversions, etc. I give this guy a HUGE thumbs-up for his reasons and choices. He thought out HIS choices carefully FOR HIMSELF and is a DOER not influenced by naysayers. Lotsa nitpicky naysayers here even by Bob who emphasized, "Wow theres NO storage space in here", which appeared to me as if he was dissing the man's choice of rig. C'mon, Bob!...the guy was nice enough to invite us into his rig and share the pros and cons of fulltime popup living HIS WAY...why the apparent diss? We're all different with different wants and needs. Just get out there and enjoy life while you can, as you can. Be good to each other and appreciate the good of each other.

enigma517 Completely agree! My truck would double as a daily driver when not camping. I like an HD truck so I can use it as a work truck too and am able to tow a load frequently. His setup is exactly what I’d want. Not for everybody but I have no desire to drive down the road with a top heavy, hard wall behemoth above me! Yes, the class b vans are nice, as are class c’s. But they cannot double as daily drivers and I’d rather not have a huge vehicle sitting in my driveway collecting dust most of the time. Each to his own, folks!

Just used my 1988 FWC Grandby for 1st time at Tday, love it, but no heater, so my buddy heater is used until bed, so no condensation down to 35, but damn was i cold in a tent. i am glad i got an 8 footer, i couldn't imagine a 6 footer, yikers. Offroad, it was like it wasnt there. freeway, 80 was not a problem, but its secured in the bed and outside the bed, it aint coming out. 2003 F250 dsl 4x4

I also am a single retiree man like Bob with a pop up camper. It's a Palomino Backpack on a 6.5 ft bed Ford F150. I am not full time yet with the Covid crowding out there. I have been on quite a few off road places and never had a problem. I love my camper and going off grid. I did a few mods to it, the big one is an 800 watt solar setup with 4 ea 100 ah Battle Born lithium batteries. I have electric power for days. I have removed the rear seats from my spacecab truck and that provides tons of storage. My camper has more storage than Bobs as well. Condensation is not a problem if managed well. I love the rain on the roof sound, 360 degree windows for ventilation or AC if needed. I am heading to Sedona this winter to train up. I am going on a Florida to Denali and a downward west coast return for fall 2021. Mine is def a 4 season full function rig. It even has a wet bath!!!! Maybe I'll see one of you two this winter...

These pop up campers are perfect when installed on a utility bed as the utility bed solves all the storage space issues. 👍

I had the privilege of camping next to Bob and his "four wheel camper " pop up this week. He's been full timing in this rig for the past 2 plus years and is still happy with his choice. Just goes to show you don't need all the bells and whistles to be content !

Thanks for the video it was very informative. As a 71 yr young nomad who has camped from tents,slide ins to travel trailers and still does I got to see the Ins and outs of camping. I noticed or it wasn’t mentioned the windows didn’t have ventilation. If they didn’t have zippered fold down windows I wish they would with screens sewn in on the outside. Nice to have fresh air circulation when you’re sleeping. Just my thoughts. Keep the road ahead a mellow travel. Thanks again

I've been looking at FWC popups for a while and when I looked at the crap in his back seats. that really turned me off. I am now rethinking a pop up camper over my original choice of getting a class B plus RV that not only has storage but a dry bath and real toilet. Thank you for giving us a true look into this way of Rving. Other channels only show us what they want you to see.

In my opinion, you should never have to apologize for the minor wind noise. We are all outdoorsy people here and I'm sure most would agree it is not annoying at all. Soothing to me!

I have 5 closets in my co-op apt. in NY. I have lots of 'things' that I haven't seen in YEARS! Your videos show that life is not about 'things' but rather enjoyment, letting 'things' go, and gaining real riches, riches that can't be touched but rather felt and seen! Bob, every time you said "very little storage" visions of my closets appeared in my mind! Another great video!

Would be Amazing to see how many of these nomads are still living nomadically, Love to see a series "where are they now" videos from all of these classic videos that made this channel so popular

Retired and still raises the roof every day.

He is so informative, so nice and would help anyone with anything! He's amazing!!

I owned one of these many years ago and loved it. It was for a small truck so Bob would have really been disliking storage in that one. Had it on a Dodge Ram 50 with a 4cylinder 5 speed. When boondocking I would just crawl in and sleep where the bench is. Actually, I do not remember ever sleeping the over cab bunk. Mine was a chore to put up and down. It worked as the old pop up campers where you had to crank it up. I bought it from some Nomads who traveled all over the Americas with it. I think it was as far north as Alaska and maybe Costa Rica so it had some miles behind it. Sold it in 2010 so been a while.

Interesting to see how people enjoy their different rigs. Everyone finds a way to meet their needs! Thanks, Bob. You do great interviews.

Big advantage being able to get into all the beautiful, off road places. Good for you Bob, you really are living the dream. I'm still stuck in Connecticut. Enjoy that western landscape for me too.

This was very interesting-I don't believe I even knew this existed. It was nice to see that Bob the owner was so content with his purchase. Sometimes I think that many people who have campers or RV's suffer from the "what if's" or the grass is always greener Syndrome because there are just so many options out there. If it was just meI think I would consider getting one of these for the very reasons Bob mentioned-being able to pull it in and store it in your garage is an absolutely huge advantage. Thank you once again for putting out another excellent video.

Some fridges have a sensor that clips on the metal fins on the back wall of the fridge. Depending on where you position it on the fin determines the temp. You might want to look for it on yours.

Check out the Huallmark pop ups they have WAYYYY more storage, but they wiegh more, but not a problem with a 2500 truck. I would also sugest to put air bags no matter...you can dial in the ride hight to exact disires!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for showing us this option. To each their own. What I learned from this video is that this would not work for me. But everyone has different ideas and needs

Bob is with us at the informal summer gathering right now! He is just as nice in person as he sounds in the video. Keep up the great videos!

My wife and I head out in 2019 with this rig......mind you we are adding a cargo 7 1/2 " x 12' long and I will design it to open behind the truck when stopped and connect to the pop up like a space capsule. The rear will open another 6 feet . The inside is 11 feet of kitchen cupboards and counters and 100 gallons of water It's a gypsy wagon with a round shaped roof and a raise bed 6 x 7 with storage under the bed. Double axle and grrey tank. the last 6 fee is compost toilet and door to outside and another door in the kitchen.

It wouldn't be my choice for full timing. I have considered the pop up truck campers for shorter trips but at least he's out there doing it and I'm still sitting in my recliner dreaming about it.

Having low profile and lightweight is the way to go. And you can pull a boat behing that which provides a ton of storage.

Long live the poptop...love mine

Another way to go is to plug in a dehumidifier.

Don’t need much storage for a couple pounds of hamburger, lots of veggies and a bible. Never go hungry and never get bored.

I just bought a used one of these, an older model that needs a good bit of work, I plan on taking out the parts I don't want and adding a few things, like more storage and a better fridge - taking out the entire base wall because the heater, stove and sink are not functional and will just use a buddy heater and a portable cook stove - this is very basic as far as a camper, I couldn't live in it long term. I am 5'4 and popping it up is not hard, I just stand on a milk crate, lol.

This camper serves a particular use very well. Seems like offroad/ overlanders like these "low center of gravity" campers.

And seeing how this works so well for Bob in his Pop-Top camper was certainly an amazing variation to consider...and to see how content he is certainly is inspiring! Thanks for bringing us this example of such an amazingly minimal, but certainly workable set up!

Love those popups

Thank you Bob for doing this video. Four wheel campers are light weight aluminum and will not rot. Normal campers weigh well over 2000 pounds and these kind only weigh around a 1000. Having that ability of a 4 wheel drive truck is very important to me. I have seen too many people get stuck. haha

Great camera work ,bob,you showed us some detail.

Really nice option. Wasn't aware of popups that go on the back of trucks like that. I like the popup idea and have stayed clear of considering one because of the need to tow it...now I realize you don't have to. If I don't go with a cutaway box truck or similar, this option may be the way I end up going. Thanks again for exposing us to new things and thanks to your guest for his willingness to share.

Hi, Bob. My husband and I have this exact same camper (the Hawk) and we love it. We do have 165 watts of solar on top and we also have the gas struts he mentioned. I travel alone sometimes and the gas struts make lifting the top on my own pretty darn easy. We run our ARB, the fantastic fan, all the lights and the furnace off our solar. I can't say enough good things about this camper. People are always amazed at how quickly I can set up camp! Happy Trails! Hiker750

I too had health issues in 2017 and am retired and recovering so we are looking into a trailer to tour the country

Very nice rig, he has exactly what he wants for the ability to go where he wants. Everyone has a choice in what they want or need to be happy. He's only been out for four months so time will tell. After a year he'll have a good idea what else he needs, such as a utility trailer to pull behind for his storage. Good luck and enjoy your retirement.🚚

What a nice guy! Love his place👍

Thanks, both of you guys especially Bob for sharing his story with us. I love Bob's unpretentious tour and taking his time to inform me and you. I am getting close to retirement and have lived the dream of travel the 48 states and no matter what, we (most) also have to look at our budget. My other concern is also leaving a limited footprint in terms of not only the amount of fuel I burn but also the size of the toy I use which will eventually become landfill. Bob mentioned he is not too happy about the fuel burn. I am willing to forego a four wheel truck for that reason. I enjoy camping and backpacking so the idea of having a little tent material is in line with a pop top. The height of this pop up makes it look spacious and being a bit claustrophobic that extra space has an impact when laying in the over cab bed. I am mentioning it because it makes a difference. The quad cab is essential unless you pull a trailer which adds a whole new twist. I would only say Bob the air assist struts could save your back some day but hey were all tough guys right. Just want to see you keep on going. I hope when exploring the beautiful land and parks I will run in to the likes of Bob.

I have a 1990 four-wheel grandby popup on my silverado 2500 4x4 and LOVE it. It easy to pop up, gas mileage is 12 around town and 14-15 on road. Not easy on gas but 34 gallon tank helps. roof is so light nothing but me is needed to erect it.

Looks great!!! works well for him. I'm happy that he's happy

I love this level of freedom! Fixing up an old 1960s 16 foot camper. This stage of the journey is so fun. Grateful for this channel! Thank you!

I like these became my brother has a pick-up truck and spends a lot of time on his deer lease. He has a set up out there, but i suggested this to him. He could go to anywhere on the lease and be there in blind, first thing in the morning, without making much noise.

yes Bob praying 4 you and your family for your moms wellness

Nice pop up camper I like it.

I'm glad he found what works for him and he's following his dream. But my guesstimate is that his set up cost him at least $90,000 and for that he has to deal with little storage (except piling everything in his crew cab to dig through), condensation, no bathroom, no insulation and terrible gas mileage. The pros are that he can go anywhere and park it in a garage. Glad it works for him but this option would be way down on my list even if I could afford it.

A new truck like his is $45,000 for a basic trim 4x4 with the 6.0 V8. A new camper is $18,000 so he probably bought his used one for $12,000. Around $60,000 for both is alot for something you can access without getting out of your truck. Obviously not stealth but that's not his concern. Take care.

Thank you Bob. And to the owner, great tour and camper. I'm hoping all adventures are safe. Excellant video Bob as always and much appreciated.

Great setup! I just wish a cargo box and maybe a kayak could be put on the roof, and still be able to raise the roof without removing what's on the roof. That would be ideal.

I love this channel. All different walks of life all for a common goal. Freedom

Awesome combo. I agree you need a reliable rig. Of course that rig the mileage Isn’t great, but hey you have to smile about something, it’s a beast. Those gas struts depending on the part Number are universal you can pick them up at lowes or on Amazon.

Always wonder how everyone is years after.

I think this is a great way to go.

This is helping me to decide I may not like the pop up style as much as I thought I would. But if I do go with pop up I think this style is the one I’d choose. It looks very sturdy!!!

you could easily organize that back seat, or buy a few boxes to slide into the camper when traveling, pull them out when youre ready to move into the camper.

I dont know know about full timing in a pop-up but we have a twenty year old Palamino pop up thats fantastic for short time camping. On a twenty eight year old chevy heavy half 4x4 with no rust and 130k miles total. Ours is very close in Features to this one only adding a very easy crank up system. Ours has an amazing amount of storage. Two overhead kitchen cabinets that go and down with the top that holds dishes as well as coffee and snack foods. A closet on the left as you come into the unit that will hold both my wife and my clothing with hanger bar. Opposite side two stacked drawers with a 12" deep cabinet below and a additional pantry beyond that below the stove. One below the sink. The whole area below the bed lifts and up and has three divided, six inch deep storage spaces that will take four pillows, two sleeping bags and enough bedding including heavy comforters if you want sheets and regular blankets instead of bags to sleep in. One last 18×18×16" storage area under the rear portion of the dinning bench seat. The only maybe not so good thing the Palamino has this one doesn't is it appears the top folded down might be a inch or so thinner then ours. Ours is around 10" thick, and weighs 1240lbs. On my 4x4 half ton chevy with oversize load range D tires and rear spring assist shocks. I have a twenty thousand dollar, poor mans exploration rig I've used on our Nev. mountain gold claims where most would need a 4 wheeler to get into. Great idea for rough country camping with all the comforts of home except a bathroom. Stayed on the mountain top claim in 25 degree weather and the furnace will cook you if you want. What more do you need? These are one of the best ideas for campers they ever came up with IMO.

Great interview. Thanks again, Bob. You are a jewel.

Thanks for the tour, Bob II!

I’ve been looking into the same set up and this convinced me that the direction I am heading is correct. I too have a tent camping/backpacking background and I’d prefer to be able to get to more adventurous off-grid places and whenever possible, do most of my living outside. I’m not even much of a fan of the campground scene anymore. Too many people squished into a small plot of land. I am single and don’t want to pull anything, nor drive something bigger than I am comfortable, especially with tall campers and wind issues. I would most likely find someone to build out a pull-out drawer type storage system for the backseat area. Very helpful video. Thanks.

Thanks for the information....love your videos....so educational

I learned that lesson with the truck. Not a big deal I swapped the rear springs and am upgrading to airbags for more stability. Next time in 7 years I will buy a bigger truck

Personally I think nothing beats a 4wd panel van but if I had to go with a truck this seems a decent option. I like how they haven't cluttered the inside with useless drawers and couches like they do with most caravans. Plenty of room to put your own stuff and arrange it the way you like

I love this rig and even though Bob says there's not a lot of storage I think it'd be enough for me. But what I don't like is the lack of security. I don't think this would be the way to go for a female traveling solo. I'd be afraid--any guy could cut his way right into that camper while you're sleeping. Would have loved to have gotten the cost of this.

Well he has convinced me to get a Class B.... most likely a Roadtrek. Glad his poptop works for him.

Want to add one huge to the pop-up camper. When I've been in places the police or business owners would likely run you off with most RV's, i just leave the top down and sleep with the table down and made up for a bed. Its still high enough inside to sit down use the fridge, cabinets, and stove to make dinner and eat. If the furnace isn't used it doesn't seem to attract any more attention then any patkef vehical and I've camped incognito places where most RV's would probably have gotten me booted.

Good video I always like those pop-ups you can travel so easy

looks quite nice...good luck Bob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a small hard shell travel lite slide in. It’s mainly for one or two max, but works out great for weekend trips, concerts or even longer excursions! We have a small dog too and it’s great to not have to find pet friendly hotels when traveling. My only question for him is how does it do in 100 degree weather? Ours has a small ceiling heat and air unit that kicks out the cold air? Looks like he had no A/C, how does that work in the Desert?

When my rig is finished that is the setup for me.
