So like I said I removed the full size water tank and replaced it with a half size I ordered off amazon. I used a mix of pex and rubber hose to run lines. I had to replace the pump sink faucet. They are cheep but also built cheap. Works good. I replaced both hoock ups on the outside. Hook the...

Will get some more pictures tomorrow and finish up the report. Sent from my iPhone using Wander The West

I used a skill saw to cut a slit in a 2" abs pipe. I slipped the pipe over the rear bar which allows me to put the canoe on the roof alone. Get the end up then it rolls the rest of the way. Sent from my iPhone using Wander The West

The camper didn't have a roof rack and this was a must. It did have bolts through the side (front and back) where a roof rack may have once been. The pattern of the bolts didn't seem to match any racks I have seen on Alaskans before so it seemed buying one was not an option. So I called in a...

I wanted a place for some fire wood and was looking around for an aluminum box I could mount on the right side. Nothing came up so I ended up mounting a double size milk crate instead. Worked great. I put in a spacer to keep it back from the camper a couple inches. I had an outboard motor cover...

When the camper is on the truck there is a space for storage between the camper and the box on the left side. Perfect fit for 2 camp chairs and our picnic table tent. I mounted a couple of fence gate latches to prevent them from falling out in transit. Sent from my iPhone using Wander The West

The previous owner had the propane tank in the toilet cupboard. He would move it outside after he set up camp. Also the propane line ran all the way around the camper to the right side. I removed all that extra line and ran it out the rear left side and mounted the tank to rear wall of the...

I ran the battery cables to 2 terminal blocks to keep the wiring neat. I used a marine breaker panel that act as switches. 1- volt meter, 2- lights (installed new marine 12volt lights, sleeping area, over dinette and over sink, 3-stereo I installed, 4-fridge. Also ordered all new roller shades...

The wiring was a bit of a disaster. Spent a lot of time just trying to understand it. A diagram I found on this site helped a lot. I removed the old water tank and in its place installed a half size tank and built a battery box (sealed) with a vent to the outside. Sent from my iPhone using...

There was a cupboard in the back corner that was for a toilet. I removed the door (toilet was already out) and built shelves. Works well. Wife gets one, I do and the top one is for toiletries. The flip up top has a mirror installed on the bottom. Sent from my iPhone using Wander The West

Truck is a 97 f250 diesel with air bags. Hauls the camper with absolutely no problems. Camper had original cushions. Decent condition but gross. Not the kind of cushions a wife will lay down on. So I stripped the fabric off. Washed the foam in the tub. Pain in the ass but after being quoted...

Hey guys! Have spent a lot of hours on this site. Found info on electrical systems, plumbing, hydraulics... Was inspired by some of the beautiful campers I saw. I picked up my Alaskan last year down in Bend Oregon. I live in nelson B.C. Built a dolly for it and rolled it into the garage to work...
