    Rusty thank you for bringing this to my attention. I contacted the seller and had a chance to look at the camper this afternoon. It is the first time I have seen the inside of an Alaskan camper. The camper is a 10 ft. CO and it is in good condition, clean, with some pretty straightforward...

    Freebird and Sagebrush thanks for your insights regarding the sleeping area. I spoke to Alaskan today about a North South and my understanding is that either because it would extend too far or the added weight would cause problems with raising and lowering the top. I got the impression they want...

    Still interested in hearing some veteran Alaskan owners chime in on bugs and water, hopefully something along the lines of - never had a problem except when setting up, or keeps some bugs out but some manage to crawl in through the gaps and this is how we take care of it - just trying to get the...

    Thanks Sagebrush. How do the sleeping areas compare. Did you have a chance to check that out when you visited the factory and was the bed an example of why you felt the Alaskan Camper was so comfortable. I imagine the Northern Lite has a taller interior, did you feel like you were not too...

    Northern Lite sounds like a good quality product and good company (just like Alaskan Campers!) so certainly would welcome your thoughts between the two. Northern Lite makes a big deal about their models being lite and not top heavy, so I am curious what the difference in handling is when you are...

    The Link I posted above "The Art and Science of Lightning Protection" does not seem to work. Hope this works... http://ebooks.cambridge.org/ebook.jsf?bid=CBO9780511585890

    Freebird - You're welcome, I was afraid folks here might be thinking - who is the loon worried about getting hit by lightning. Every one, particularly off road RV owners who are in remote areas where lightning is a factor should take this seriously. July and August are the time of year when...

    To follow up, Ford will not be offering the EcoBoost in the 2017 Super Duty lineup, and it looks like the Raptor only comes in a short bed. So much for those ideas ....

    Thanks for your thoughts on this. I have been leaning towards a Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500. I think the 2500 with the coil springs and air bags in the back would be my preference over air bag and leaf springs in the back on the 3500. In the Ram's case a 6.4 V8 looks to be the best way to go, as I am...

    I have been researching campers for some time now with the expectation I will be getting something in the next year. Like many of the others posting here my current short list is FWC, Hallmark, and Alaskan. Northern Lite was also on my list, but they are the most expensive and the others offer...
