I was browsing through the posts on the original Alaskan campers forum on yahoo groups (before it was shut down due to excessive spamming). Found some useful posts on there that I've kept for future reference. Among these I read a post by a guy named Dave who claimed that his cabover Alaskan's...

Congrats on your purchase. It looks to be in pretty good shape. It's obvious that the previous owner did some work to it. New paint, lighting, polished aluminum, and some other odds and ends here and there. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but it does look like the windows have leaked in the...

Nestled is just fine Robert it suits your Alaskan because of the condition its in. I would even go as far as putting some blankets on it and tucking it in for the night. :D I am only being funny with you because a lot of us have bare bones campers and yours looks loaded. Newer fridge...

Robert..."Nestled" is just perfect ;) Thanks Rusty, it's the word that came to mind, what with a rainy autumn and snowy winter around the corner! It was suggested that I start another thread on the manufacturing history and comparative quality over the years, and I included your useful...

Hi all, It was suggested that I post this as a different topic, that others can contribute to from their perspective. I read that at one time there may have been several manufacturing plants in the US/Canada churning out Alaskans. Obviously, all those plants have now gone away and the new...

Hi Robert, Nestled! Huh! :D the only things I know of that Nestle are birds and Mice. Mice AHHHHH! :o the scourge of campers and tent trailers,make sure you don't have any in your garage,or they will be in your camper. :) Mice don't like mothballs but unfortunately nor do I :unsure...

Hi again all, Well, the camper got delivered today and all is well, it's resting safe and snug in my garage! I uploaded several pictures I took today, for your viewing pleasure. On the same link in my original posting. The seller arrived this morning with the camper on a uhaul. He raided the...

Nice rig. It's so original. You have some good photos that show certain details I haven't seen before. Hardly any leak marks Heavy duty tie down brackets. They look fairly recent. Shinny alu. trim. Took me a bunch of steel wool and chemicals to get mine in shape. Looks like all shades and...

Hi Robert, I echo Rusty's advice, "Kid Gloves" when loading or unloading the camper. (...) I wish somebody had given me this advice before I loaded my camper. I was a hairs breadth away from dumping my camper on its roof,you should have seen the air around me it was blue and not from the color...

Wow, Robert! You have discovered a real gem. I would like to formally welcome you to the forum and look forward to reading about your camper in future posts. Sorry it took so long to welcome you officially. I have been King Salmon and Steelhead fishing for the past 3 days and turned my iPhone...

Something to keep in mind....those cable jacks are dangerous...I've seen Alaskans on the ground in poor shape from experiences with cables slipping and the two bars being slightly out of balance position...I don't know what corner jacks those are but screw jacks work well....Reico Titan's are...

Robert, Consider yourself VERY LUCKY...that's the nicest one I've seen and ours has been in the family for 40 years. The wood work is almost perfect....do not let it get wet without re-sealing the front and rear gutters with acrylic butyl window glazing 1/8 inch tape.... and have a nice cover...

Hello everyone! I'm really glad I found this forum. Since 2 days ago, I am now the proud owner of an early 70's Alaskan 10 foot NCO camper! I had read about and heard about Alaskans for a few years, but living in the North-East, I never thought I'd have a chance to see let alone own one. Then...
