If you don't get any takers here, you could put them on craigslist. I thought about buying a junk Alaskan for the parts (but didn't). The sides of an Alaskan are about the same as the front of a lot of vintage campers... 8 ft wide, big window, rolled top. They might sell as vintage camper windows.

I’ve started tearing down my hydraulic pump to replace the worn parts. After removing the pump from the camper, I removed the base plate from the reservoir and pump. The pump piston could then be removed from the cylinder – don’t lose the ball bearing that rests in the valve seat. I’ll let...

I didn't really notice how beat up the front of my camper was when it was dull and dirty, but after a good cleaning and some fresh paint - it's pretty obvious that this thing got driven through a hail storm. I'm working on covering most of the dents with a piece of anodized diamond plate (.045)...

I had a hard time finding the gallery... didn't think to look under gear and food... finally found it: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/gallery/category/146-alaskan-campers/ Lots of nice pictures! I'm looking forward to putting my camper in there once I get it all back together and on my...

Here’s some information that came with my camper… 1978 8Ft NCO originally cost $2,475. With options (toilet, overhead cabinets, etc) it was $3,335. 1981 an 8Ft NCO base price was $3,170 1993 an 8Ft NCO base price was $8,795. I added them in the Alaskan Gallery, too.

It only took a couple of years to get a reply to your post! I built sawhorses from that plan last year. I like that they stack up when not in use. I made mine out of 2x4 and used them to support walkboards to work on another camper project, but they worked to help me get my Alaskan off of my...

Thanks, guys. I enjoy playing around with old campers, but I’ve always wanted a truck camper. I haven’t sold any of my restored campers yet… I get too attached to them, besides, I’d probably net about $2/hr. I’ve seen a TV show called Flippin’ RV’s and they sell their resto-mods for $35K+ so...

The wood veneer is separating from the lower edges of the upper half of my camper, so while I have the two halves apart, I’m going to re-glue the veneer and put some corner bead over it to hold it tight to the wall. I’m using 1 ¼” drywall corner with lathe screws. I’m cutting one side down to...

Here's another shot of the corner that I attached to the top edge of the camper to hold the veneer in place - it won't be seen when the camper is put back together.

This guy loads his camper off of a cart in about one minute:

I’ve pull off all the hardware, doors, drawers, windows and fixtures and have begun to refinish the interior. While I am at it, I’m going to change the O-rings on the hydraulics. Here’s a shot of the interior with the top half separated and blocked up on the lower half. Once I get the...

Hey Mike, I sent you a PM about the decals. Thanks for asking. For anyone else that wants a decal, send me a message through this forum and I'll give you my email address for a paypal payment or my home address if you would prefer to pay by check.

I'm in the process of replacing mine. Here's what they look like from a 1978 Alaskan.
