We have decided to replace our Alaskan. It's a great rig, but it just wasn't the right fit for us. We'll be sad to see it go, if you have any questions contact me via CL mail please.

This has really piqued my interest. I think Alaskan could really capitalize on this market.
I may have missed it, but can you remove the camper? I don't see any jacks or tie-down points.
I've been really happy with the winter performance of the Alaskan. I purchased a pair 6v GC batteries from Costco, installed just forward of each wheel well. I have a Honda 2000 generator that we run for a few hours from setup/sundown to bedtime. I can run the furnace on low all night, keeping...
It's not a diesel -- you can tell by the exhaust and lack of door badges.

Also, the diesel powerplant in the half tons seems to take more of a bite out of payload, they are prioritizing mileage at the expense of capacity. I think the 2.7eb F150 competes just fine with the Ram eco. I don't see why Ford would bother bringing yet another engine to market in that truck...
That is a nice setup. Could be very capable with some updates, but their price is way off. That's a $5k truck under a $10k camper, at best. If that truck was a '91 7.3 PSD with 39k miles, I'd be on the phone right now.
