Welcome sodly....sounds like you've already got the bug Alaskans were originally designed in 1953 by RD Hall and were manufactured by a number of different facilities all sanctioned by Mr. Hall. The width may seem to vary but they remain alike in their dimensions....some truck beds however...

the guide is a "T" track for pocket doors...ordered from a local door shop. there are two of them...one the full length of the camper and one the full length of the drawer...slightly less...the guides are "T" track guides which come with the track...4 wheels each....3 sets on the drawer fitted...

Be real careful with those cable jacks....they're well known for losing their position and dumping campers on the ground when the soil is soft.....or scratching the top section Check out reico titan or atwood jacks with offset brackets...bolted to the frame...one at each corner avoids the...

Old school.....I've treated wood working tools with this for many years and have used it on the guides as well. shave beeswax in a small container with a top...preferably thick glass or metal ...with a good screw top pour in a small amount of gum turpentine and mix with a small stick until you...

So many things would need changing to incorporate a shower...more water storage ...a holding tank, a better water heater....I think they've been round the horn on this...and I've been thinking about it as well.....and my wife :D I'm thinking about including an outside with the next retrofit.

Several years ago I posted up a few photos of a side drawer I had made for my Alaskan. Image Shack then went $$$ on me and poof...all the photos were...GONE.ugh... I'm going to make an attempt to reconstruct the photo link The drawer carries 2 folding chairs, a cameron "fold and...

Thanks Husky.... at the time of that posting I believe I had one of those free image shack subscriptions....after I had so many pictures in my file ....they came to me and said....that'll be $XYZ/month...no thanks...then they closed down the file and poof..... I'll get them back up Voila

I built a special drawer for that space...on mine it's about 6"...pics on another computer...maybe a little later waste no space.... ;)

it would be interesting to get a line on what those screws are attached to...none I've seen before have had them. somebody was obviously installing them for a reason...Mine didn't have a drivers side box out either..... Hall had alot of shops building them...even in Canada....all minor...

pics of the interior always tell the story.....the ext can vary quite a bit.... pic 9 has been left outside quite a bit...hence the paint loss...but that's usually uv paint loss....which can mean a dry life... pic 8...i'd look at the interior corners and around the windows for staining...as...

A 10' NCO will work just fine towing a boat...I do it all the time...and it's about a 3500 pound boat with 310# of tongue weight...check out my photo gallery...the stairs were built with a stinger in the middle for towing up to 375# of tongue weight... the old Alaskans were built to fit...

I'm embarking on a similar journey with a minor twist. but that's another story.... They make some pretty nice (well detailed and finished) manufactured truck body's for contractors...not you typical utility body but custom to match the truck. I'll see if i can fine the link My situation is...

Another 2003 F-250 owner with a 7.3 liter diesel.....love it...only thing different would be a F-350 with a 7.3....The Gvwr is slightly more...even if there is no difference other than the block, that's worth it in my book. Planning a trip to Canada where the mounties stop you at the scales...

Alley-Kat.....I understand now.....pilots are detail oriented by survival instinct, engineers by training.... :D The Marine Corps saw fit to give me a set of gold wings too....not pilots wings but gold non the less... ;)

This thread has UC Santa Barbara written all over it.....what an amazing journey...WELL DONE! Someone mentioned you should be teaching a class about this...my bet is you are a teacher...this was so well outlined and detailed....I'm in awe. And I thought I was a stickler for details...lots and...

a couple things I added a few years back....all the above and...in a 1.5" diameter, 4 inch long, clear plastic tube...with caps from tap plastic....a 2oz bottle of chlorine with an eye dropper...and in the same size tube...a small bottle of iodine with an eye dropper. The 1.5" tube gives you...
