I've seen those too, but I can imagine the trouble I'd have getting their hair out of the canvas. I am looking at some PVC or fiberglass sheeting that I can make my own - slide it out once in a while & give it a good scrubbing. Plus I need it secure so they can't climb in the front seat -...

KT & LH - I guess riding in the camper could be an option - as long as the outside temp is not too bad. I am judging it by the present temperature which is 109 F today :( I ended up getting a Furminator - not to encouraged by it - no offense to my loving doggies but it's kind of like putting...

Thought it might be helpful to post this owner's manual for an Atwood/Wedgewood stove that's in my '72 Alaskan - tomorrow I'm diving into mine to get it working right http://bryantrv.com//docs2/docs/operating/atwoodrangeown.pdf

I thing a good 'furminating' and a really protected area in the extended cab area where they're going to be is the ticket. And true - it's the price I'll have to pay for having dogs. But I believe this will keep the fur down to a minimum. I'll give it a try! Thanks all!!

Ha! Talk about co-driver! I know what you mean!

Yep, they look mighty surly but they're my two sweet girlies :) Seat covers wouldn't do a thing for these girls - the hair goes everywhere. Gets in the controls in the dash board. Had to change out window switches because of microscopic hair. Then they both roll in whatever 'dookey' they can -...

I recently changed travel / camping rigs - from a Land Rover Discovery pulling a 14' travel trailer to a full size pickup with an Alaskan Camper on the back. In my Land Rover, it was nothing for my dogs to travel with me - but even though they're short haired dogs (Catahoulas) they are the...

Yeah, sound of the water was good therapy. That's good to know about coolant - if I ever get in a pinch for fluid - but after this last trip, doubtful I will !

Thank you - oh I've done my share of sitting in my camper wishing I was somewhere else! As it was, this trip was right in my back yard so to speak, only 70 miles away - Sequoia National Forest. I love the National forests - dispersed camping rather than being crammed up against everyone else...

Thank goodness, the stove DID work :)

Just returned from first trip with camper. Besides a few issues with the camper, I am hooked. Just kept thinking, 'what's better than this?' Had an issue with the hydraulic pump - didn't bring enough hydraulic jack fluid with me so had to go 40 miles RT to an auto parts house. Glad I made the...

Duct table & baling wire - it'll fix just about anything .... outside of Congress... I am surprised - my wife didn't say a word. Guess my fix wasn't as bad as I thought. I'll let it stay 4 now :)

Yes there are - I am closest to Sequoia & Kings Canyon - but so many other places are a long ways away !

VN & R: typically for me the right way to do something doesn't resonate with me - I did this block fix all wrong - will have to re do it maybe with rubber truck dock bumper blocks mounted to a piece of plywood or sheet metal that I can attach to the bottom of the camper as you suggested. The...

I am thinking that no doubt a camper pulled with tie downs so the door is not square - that can affect the raising / lowering of the top unit.

Just got finished raising my camper another 1 1/2" and put blocks under the tie down brackets onto the truck bed rails - a distance of 4" and yes, the door was pulled apart maybe 5/8" enough so the latch didn't work. Now it works fine. I can't say the blocks look very good -right now it looks...

I am also wondering how to solve the propane tank issue besides mounting a tank on the back of the camper. I was hoping there would be room in the left wheel well but I only have 7" width. Any such thing as a 6" wide rectangle propane tank?

VN: good advice. Right now there is a little over an inch clearance - do you think another 1 1/2 (2x4) would be enough? BW: am not sure what you mean. How would you recommend doing this? edited: oh ok, bottom of camper that is above the truck rail. I was thinking the bottom being down in the...

Thanks for the welcome! Got her loaded - wife isn't happy with me putting an old camper on a new pickup but hey - I can only do what I can do - if I wait for a new or newer one I may never go anywhere! As it is, going up to Sequoia & Kings Canyon - and the national forests right in my back yard...

Well I've taken the plunge. Sold my beloved 14' fiberglass (Burro) trailer, bought a 2014 Ford F250 4x4 Super Cab with added leaf spring (camper package) and also bought a '72 Alaskan CO. It's not perfect, but hopefully there won't be an issue I cannot solve. Had a lot of great times in my...

Keder welt. That's what attaches to fabric and slides in the track. Just bought 10' for my rig - from sailrite.com
