Jo, Towing and carrying are two different animals entirely. When you're towing you're essentially "pulling" with a tongue weight that's determined by how you "loaded" your trailer and varies significantly. The weight of your camper "dry" is around 1200-1400 pounds depending on additions and...

some creative interior decorating....from what I can see...the one corner looks real good and your back door as well....so far so good.... the small piece of thin plywood with the electrical diagram used to be the cover for an electrical circuit breaker box...it slid in a narrow slot to form a...

refrigerators suffer the same attraction...often the one and only problem to getting them turned around

Well, congratulations....I can see your prepared to get your hands dirty already...very good first things first.....It's much cheaper to get a new lock from vintage with new keys...the square shaft will fit into the interior portion of the existing lock the camper doesn't have to be perfectly...

Very nice Stan....Deluxe to be sure.... Iowa hiker......I also slipped my Alaskan in my work truck...for nearly 20 years.....worked great and wouldn't have had it any other way but there comes a time when keeping your butt warm with heated seats and enjoying some of the more obscure items in...

red and black plaid paint? just joshing you Stan...looking forward to seeing what a clothier and a camper mfr can come up with...should be interesting can't make it to Salt Lake City....could you post a pic or two from the Show?

Congratulations....good choice Rieco makes extended brackets just for dually trucks,,,not having a dually I haven't got the experience on this one...but it would seem the forward jacks are all that would be needed... the jacks themselves should not lean in at all...perpendicular.....straight...

no...the top half does not need to rest on a bulkhead..... bolted down to a deck, the top will rest on the brackets inside the camper at the top of the hydraulic cylinders. When used as a slide in camper, which is removed when done....it is wise to shore up the truck bed walls to or very near...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all..... It's been an interesting year and alot of new Alaskans added...congratulations to all May the new year bring you happy trails and easy roads to your camping sites.... Rusty

There were quite a few different stove manufacturers supplying stoves to Alaskan in the different assembly plants. I have 2-70's and they're both different.... but....they should have the same diameter lines and gaskets...determined by propane use and the btu's of the burners...mostly the same...

just saw this.....good price....I've already got a set http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/rvs/5905622982.html

Thank you for your service as well.....I will finish the trip....soon the NCO I currently use was my grandmothers...purchased new in 1970....the CO I'm working on is a few years newer 1973...one of them will accompany me which has yet to be determined I look forward to reading your...

I built a truck up for a trip up the alcan in 1969 when I returned from Viet Nam.....Made it as far as Humboldt County, a degree, a wife and a business....never made it to Alaska...it's on my bucket list for sure and have spoken to many about the trip. Consider a partial alcan and a partial...

Well done Linda......WELL DONE!....very nice read..... ;) You're just about ready for Alaska.....

Thanks Linda...great picture I'm going to have to stop on my way North next time....take in the "really big show"

I'll second that...nice looking interior....1/2 ton pickup and big enough for 1 or 2.....and 6000 + on the first trip. I'm interested in how you found the short camper for comfort on the trip back.... with some of the economical 1/2 ton engines these days.....that might be a...

I have NEVER seen a lift from the top section (nor would I advise it)...all I have seen are lifts from the bottom section. If you lift from the top section you will be lifting against the hydraulic suction of the rams ONLY (unless you install through pins on each corner)....almost a ton...and...

soooo....you have to lift on the lower half...which removes typical corner jacks from the conversation....using brackets from reico you can make adapters for the hijackers to lift vertically on the rieco brackets...it's been done a couple times and works well...hydraulic manual or electric Lift...

Camco bars.... either the double or singles....spring compression

over 1K for the one I wanted made....you might be able to get one made cheaper...but I wanted it for a traveling cover as well.....with heavy plastic windows, snaps....to match my boat cover....I get tired of cleaning all the bugs off the front window and all the tiny grooves....especially...
