So I guess I have a bit of woodworking to do............

Thank you for the reply and all the good suggestions, I really appreciate it! Regarding the sawhorse and the supports, the camper never traveled one those and this is temporary and only for the sawhorses until I have the frame made for it. When I bought the camper, 3 length of 2x3 tubing were...

But things keep showing up, the wood behind where the guide block is bolted is all rotten..... It was a mistake to buying that thing.

I found out.... I will take all of them off and clean them , re oil them and replace the acorn nut with Nylocks nuts...

Ok, I need to know how to take the tracks out to be able to rebolt the guide block. I tried to follow Brian's explanation, but it was so not detailed that I just can't understand.... I know the idea is to remove the 2 screws that hold the stop block at the top of the rail and then unscrew the...

Really nice camper, I won't comment not he truck lol, I'm a diesel fan. If I could afford a new Alaskan, I would get one made like with a similar layout with he side door and the back dinette, make a lot of sense!! It would need to be a bit larger than 7' but some thing like 9' would be great...

Made some heavy duty saw horses to replace the stack of skids that I used before! They work fantastic!

So here are a few pictures of the "rub" spot on the front "panel" cause by the side panels in the lowered position. The mattress seem to be the right thickness. Everything seem to lay flat on the mattress, but right beside the round foam filled seal, there is "sharp" tin protruding from the...

Ok thank you I will take pictures tomorrow and make a separate post for each issue!! Cheers

Thank you Every one for all the great info! I didn't visit in a while since the camper was parked and waiting for spring to come by... Still waiting, -10c this morning but we did use the camera las weekend for an over night.... Anyway, as winter came along, I found a few other problem with our...

Wow you didi a lot of work on that guy!! I just got a 96' and I do have a bit of work to do on it in the spring, but not to that extend, it is in pretty mint condition... Hope I don't have surprises!!

Here is a question while talking about changing the hydraulic fluid!! Is any one that have switch the fluid to synthetic for winter use? If so what grade/what brand!!

I don't see the picture... But I know what you mean, I think on mine it is an aluminum piece. I talked to Brian and reinforcing the added bottom frame( the past owner added 3 3x2 aluminum tubes/rails running the length of camper to sit higher in the truck bed to clear the cab) with cross pieces...

Ok, I din't see any angle iron, I wouldn't know where to look.... As for the pallets, it is super sturdy, you can't even shake it not even a little!

In the picture above, the camper is sitting on a piece 2x6 on top of the pallet stack, the jacks are backed down so no weight are on them, the bottom door is 100% square to its frame... So, my idea here is to have a piece of angle aluminum welded across the 3 2x3 aluminum tubing to create a...

Look like the floor is pretty straight wile sitting on the pallets, but seams to flex quite a bit when only supported by the jacks or on the truck bed(back tie downs tighten by hands but quite tight!!) I will take more pictures today and try to up load them... I have an idea that might work to...

all my tiedown were hand tighten, but they were as tight as I could get then, but just by hand. I took the camper off for the winter and when on the jacks only the splay went the opposite way... then I lowered the camper on some pallets stacked 5 high, and fully level and the top door is good...

Thank you. As for the doors, I notice that it is worst when the camper is tie down to the truck feels like the tie down splay the the bottom part open!! The thing is it is way to cold this time of year to play with that, but I'll gather as much info as I can till the spring to be able to trouble...

Thank you for the infos, I will try the shims for the bottom door... I think it will take a bit of adjustments in the different area to get it the way I want in terms of seals and doors and all the little details that will make it a great rig!!

Good day, I'm new here and new to Alaskan camper world.... I bought a 10' 1996 cabover front dinette, just got back from a 6000+ km round trip to get it. The thing is in really good condition and love it already, but I have a few questions and concerns!! First, the doors, they don't close...
