In searching the web for Alaskan stuff, I found this auction – 1 week too late. Here’s the link and a few pictures. Somebody got themselves a nice set-up. http://www.auctionzip.com/Listings/2211640.html Dodge D200 Truck Camper Special The Alaskan Camper 1 owner 62,000 Miles 318 Engine V8...

Hey Rusty, the hole in the overhang is where the sink drain used to come out of in 2" ABS. It then went thru the box that I removed and had a outlet on the back. I'm going to put a rubber grommet in the hole and just run a hose out of the drain - thru the grommet and out the back on the...

Here's the re-worked curbside - the box is 3" skinnier: And the re-worked streetside: I added a power cord inlet, a 12 volt & 110 volt outlet to feed the top half, and moved the water inlet from the bedrails to the back... and I slapped some paint on the bottom half.

I'm reposting about the decals - I pulled my first post because I thought that it might have been premature to post about them without actually having any... but I got some now. I took caseboy's idea of having some Alaskan decals made - and here's the finished product next to my repainted...

rear window of my truck

Some of my camper projects

here are three decals that I had made... they look just like my emblems

I put one of those in my gun safe and a larger one in my teardrop trailer... so far, so good. I like that you can bake the moisture out of the desiccant and reuse it rather than something that's a single use and toss.

Thanks for the info on your DIY camper jacks, and the new camera, wow! That's a good point about not wanting to lift a camper that has rot issues, it could make a big mess. I like the way that you raised the top half and supported it on 2x's, I'm going to have to do that with mine. Here's a...

Welcome to the forum - from another new guy. For waterproofing, I sealed the bottom plywood edge with undercoating spray. For the rest of the camper, if you remove and replace all the old putty tape around the windows, vent, lights, J-channel trim and any other breachs in the aluminum, then...

I put an AC in a 1956 Shasta that I rebuilt and I put it in high - against the ceiling. It pulls outside air through a top vent and blows the hot air out of a side vent. I lined the cabinet with aluminum and made a drip pan for it, too.

Are you going to make the storage boxes removable, so that the camper could still fit box bed trucks? Your Alaskan sure would look nice on that blue GMC.

It did get a rise out of the Alaskan!

I did spray some rustoleum leakstop rubberized spray on the bottom plywood floor edge. Hopefully, that will stop any wicking into the wood. here's a picture after the rear storage box was removed flush with the rest of the bottom.

I cut apart a $100 pop-up camper to use as a dolly. I have gravel, not concrete, so I needed wheels instead of casters. Before: After: Camper on camper:

My camper doors have slide bolts on them so that they can be locked from the inside. I removed the lower alminum off of the sides yesterday and only found two quarter sized rot spots on each of the front/side/floor joints... not a problem. I will probably put that silver rubbery flashing tape...

Hi, my name’s Bob and it might be a while before I can get out to wander the west, but this site is the best source for information about Alaskan campers that I have found. Alaskans are hard to find here in the southeast, so when one popped up not too far away, I went for it. It’s a 1978 8...
