I know I've read this several times before and even when I did a search I still couldn't find it but can someone tell me what type of wood was used in the interior (I think its Ash) and what color of stain was used? Thanks.

Has anyone added shelving in your closets? I'm thinking of doing this but I am concerned I'll drill the screw out to the other side

What do you all use for organizing your closets and cabinets? I'm looking for ideas as to what should I use to keeps clothes kept folded in my closets? Do you use baskets? hangers? What about in your cabinets? I'm thinking about using my overhead cabinets as a pantry, but how would I keep the...

Very nicely done! Thanks so much for sharing and for the pictures. I think I'm going to do the same but I doubt it will turn out as nice as yours.

What about slip covers? Do they make those for campers?

I've decided it's time to re-upholstery my dining table bench seats in my 64 NCO. I'm planning on doing this myself and was wanting to know if someone has any ideas on where to buy the foam and the pattern? I've found some online but I don't know which is a good company or not and would rather...

Wow! Sounds good, thanks for the pictures too. I've been wanting to build a dolly and I like how you did yours. I'm picking mine up tomorrow from my dad's farm (it's been in the barn) and wanting to get some work done on it as I'm going to be taking it out and living in it in a few months while...

I am in favor of using a trailer but I have no other choice. I have a 1/2 ton Chevy (I'll never buy another 1/2 ton) with a 6.5 ft bed (I'll never buy a short bed again) but my camper is 10 ft long. So I've been scowering craigslist and FB Marketplace to find one. I use my camper for when I go...

My thoughts on hauling my Alaskan are constantly evovling. I'm thinking about getting a utility trailer (82"x16') to haul her in. I can use this trailer in a lot of other areas too, such as hauling my trucks and tractor in. I would appreciate your thoughts on how this will ride. Since it is 48"...

I've got mine sitting on cinder blocks in my dad's barn. Evidently, I'm going to store it in our garage but I have to build a roll around cart first. I like how you have yours.

Does anyone have any idea where to buy siding for the sides of the lockers that will match the Alaskan?

That was great! You've answered my questions and settled my fears, I appreciate it.

Good points, thank you! Another question popped into my mind. I'm thinking that I should get a tandem axle trailer with the axles located more toward the middle of the trailer rather than towards the end of it? This, IMHO, will help balance the load. Is this correct or am I off on this one?

Thanks Russ, I think you're right, it shouldn't have any problems with it. It's an 8cy.

One more question concerning the tandem axle trailer. Can a 1/2 ton pickup pull it okay? The trailer I'm looking at weighs around 1400lbs and you add the weight of the Alaskan at 1700 lbs plus gear and it will be around 3500lbs. I'm thinking it "should" pull it without problems. It's a 2011...

I think there are several different places to find your numbers. I had an 8' NCO and the year was engraved on the back plate of the camper. If you're facing the door, look down at the bottom on the left side and you may see it there. If I remember correctly, there will be 6-8 numbers. The 2nd...

Thanks y'all! I read somewhere that tandem axle trailers ride better than single. I.e. won't have the swaying or bouncing going down the highway. Any truth to this? Stay safe! Joe

How does an Alaskan fit onto a flat bed trailer? I'm wanting to use a tandem axle utility trailer for my 10' NCO. This will be her permanent place on the trailer so no more taking it off/on. My question is with the width of utility trailers being wider than a pickup bed, how would I be able to...

Thanks guys, appreciate the help. I had to act fast and ended up using cinder blocks and 2 x 6.

I'm going to be removing my 64 10ft NCO and storing it in my dad's barn for a while. I'm wanting to store it on cinder blocks and would like to get you all's thoughts on this please. I'm thinking of placing blocks 3 high on all four corners and probably add 2 in the middle. Will this be safe and...

Thanks to the both of you!

I'm wondering if I can use "any" hydraulic fluid?

Whenever I raise my camper it raises perfectly except for the last 2-4 inches. I don't feel any pressure on the pump as I'm pumping it. I'm thinking I'm low on fluid but not sure? Does anyone have any advice? If I'm low then what type of fluid do I need and where does it go? I pray that my pump...

Thanks David. I've tried posting pictures but it's not working for me. I think I have to download a flash drive or something but I don't know why it has to be so difficult in posting a picture. I cleaned up my "Condo" today and it still has a beautiful shine to it. What do you all use to clean...

I've been in my camper for over 2 weeks and the coldest it has gotten was -1 wind chill on one night. I don't raise my camper so its less room to heat and it helps with the "gap" issues I have. But my Mr. Buddy heater has done a fantastic job (along with my sleeping bag) in keeping me warm...
