As I mentioned in another post I am getting bugs in the bed area when I drive. Time for seals. although the camper looks great on the outside, it is a 2000 year which means it is 17 years old. What is the proper size and source for the flange type seals that seal the tip out window panels on...

Thanks for the heads up Rusty. I'm going to have to take a look at mine. I found bugs in the bed area when we arrived at our destination. A sure sign that things aren't sealing properly on the front. -Bill-

I think this one was made for a utility bed. The base is 48 inches wide all the way. Here it is in full camp mode. Spent 3 nights near Mammoth Lakes CA. 20 degrees at night, 75 during the day. Shake down went well but the push button for the lift quit half way raised. I managed to raise it the...

Just picked this up last week. A 1300 mile round trip but well worth it. The pictures are from the Craig's list ad. We are taking it for a shake down trip to the Mammoth Lakes area this week and I will have new pictures to post then. I had to do a bit of work to it to get it ready. If you will...

Chris, this doesn't look like a simple sealer type fix. Something has let go allowing the separation to occur. Any fix has to involve finding a way to reinforce those corners. If it were mine I would remove the latches and stainless steel strip so I could see the problem a little better. Then...

Thank you Rusty. Sorry for the late reply. I saw those jacks. It is tempting but I'm gonna have to wait on any $ decisions until after I've gotten the camper. Things are tight now and I don't want to short circuit my ability to grab a camper. I've found a couple Alaskans but very far away...

If anyone in the Bakersfield/Tehachapi/Lake Isabella area has a 8 or 10 foot front dinette C/O Alaskan that my wife and I can look at I would appreciate it. I'm not asking you to sell it, I just want my wife to see the inside of one and understand the space and layout. IF you are willing to show...

Thank you guys for taking the time to answer. I got a few good points from what you had to say. PackRat, your coffee solution was one that hadn't occured to me. I currently heat water and have instant. Starbucks Via is very good for instant coffee but it's still instant coffee. I'm going to try...

PackRat, thanks for your response. You are right in many respects. My truck is a 96 Dodge dually 4X4 which sits pretty high although it is stock. My current camper is a Hallmark popup with canvas/vinyl sides. It is a pain to have to go around tucking everything in while lowering the top. Lower...

OK Alaskan owners. One of the reasons I am looking for an Alaskan, apart from the pop up configuration, is it's usability in harsh weather, Specifically snow. I don't mean at a snow park, I mean in the boondocks, in a snow storm. It seems to me that the Alaskan is perfect for this...

Does anyone have real numbers on these panels compared to advertised numbers? Open circuit voltage on a sunny day should be pretty easy to get. -Bill-

Hi Guys. I just purchased a Palomino in excellent condition. It is the B1200 model. There are a few things I need to do on the roof. Antennas, solar panels, expand the vent to an escape hatch, etc. Can anyone give me some insight as to exactly how the roof is constructed? All plywood...

Since it is heating up the controls and heating unit are working. My guess would be that the cooling unit is shot. Not surprising given the age. Time for a new fridge. There are a couple used ones on this forum. -Bill-

As of this morning, this one is still for sale. He told me the price was dropped to $1000. So. Cal. -Bill- http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/rvs/4569668415.html

I LIVE on a bad road. Almost a mile of dirt road with ruts, holes etc. All the constant shaking has rooted out the weeak or loose fasteners. I am not the only one who uses this road so I used to see a bolt or some such hardware on the road and think "oh look, someone lost a bolt," Then I get...

I have one and really like it. It is most useful paired to another device. It is very tedious typing a message with the on screen "keyboard" but when paired with my ipad it is very easy to use. I visit the Mojave National preserve often and go solo in some really isolated places. I have not yet...
