All you folks are amazing in spending the time to respond to my friend's dilemma. I appreciate your thoughtful comments. Today, as it now turns out, he has decided that dealing with the 10 ft. cabover on his regular cab pickup is too much of a jump. So he is now in the market for 8 ft...

Well, my friend already has a popup and is wanting to get a solid sided camper like an Alaskan for more comfort and durability. So, for him getting a popup is not the answer. The question he is grappling with is weather his regular cab 1996 or 1998 Dodge 2500 8 ft. with a 10 ft cabover Alaskan...

A friend has a single cab 8 ft. bed pickup and is concerned about putting on a 10 foot cabover where the cabover extends 12 inches beyond the top of the front wind shield. His question is whether that situation will create hazardous wind currents underneath the cabover and also intolerable...

Thanks all of you for your replies. It seems I should have postponed my post until I did a little more work and found out pretty much what all of you were suggesting was the problem. They all work now after cleaning and tightening the screws. Henricksen

Hi there, On my 2006 CO Alaskan 10 ft., 3 out of 8 running lites don't work (1 on the front CO and 1 each on the sides front) Any suggestions as to how to track the problem. Not the bulb, since a working bulb still doesn't lite any of the 3 up. I am definitely not that sharp with electrical...

Thanks snuffy. Will try those two when ready.

I have noticed that there is the "gear exchange" in this forum for listing stuff for sale. However, I was wondering if anyone has some other "killer" ideas for listing places, etc. to attempt to sell an Alaskan Camper. I won't list any particulars about the camper here since that would...

Has anyone heard any evaluations of (good or bad) or used the Glow Guide handrail made by TorkLift International? Their web link is: http://www.torklift.com/index.php/products/steps-handrails/glowguide-handrail. I am still looking for a serious safety assist entering and exiting the Alaskan via...

Nice looking friend you are including in your adventure. A good companion I'll bet.

Yes I agree it is always a pleasure to run into other Alaskan camper folks on the road. I grew up not very far from you in a little place called Parkland and moved to Bellingham where I lived for 25 and some years. However, I had to look up where Key Center, Wa. was. I have been on the...

Yes. That is correct.

I only know what Bryan told me back in 2006 when I bought our camper and asked him about heat in camper when travelling so as to protect the water from freezing. He suggested a "Little Buddy" I believe he called it to run in the camper for a little heat. You could give him a call to double...

We have had a 10 ft. cabover since new in 2006 and driven it around and camped a lot in the Northwest and the Southwest in many different types of weather, including rains, snow and strong winds. In raising and lowering the cabover during nasty weather we find timing to be important if you can...

I would have to add that raising or lowering my 10 ft CO is definitely not my favorite thing to do in strong winds. I have to let down the the cabover doors which opens up the front to whatever the winds want to do as far as lifting the CO. However, that being said,we never have had bad luck...

I am late in discovering your post and responding. By the way, the execution of your project is way beyond my skill level. But I found your pics and description extremely interesting and yes, some of your posts do indeed have particular relevance to us and our 8 year old CO Alaskan. I do have...

I completely agree that Bryan has always been very helpful with extremely good advice and not in a hurry to get rid of you on the phone or in person. Good thought to support him; I try too when possible also.

Thanks for your thoughts, Your first sentence expresses our situation at this point in our life. What we want to do and are able to do comfortably and safely are not the same now. So, we will keep playing with different options and adjustments to make a situation work for us. Definitely, our...

Thank you Rusty for the work in putting together that very interesting and valuable record of pictures and words about redoing the outside of an Alaskan. Though I won't be doing an operation like yours, parts of procedure will sure be helpful for me.

Thanks for the link. That foldaway handle looks promising. I will need to take some measurements and see how that would fit in with a handrail. As it happens, I too know a talented welder who lives down the way. I can always call on him to make or modify something I come up with. Yes your...

Yes, I am thinking along your lines. If I understand what you mean by a grab handle,we have one to the left side of our door mounted to the body of the camper. Were I to add a safe sturdy handrail, perhaps similar to the one referred to me by rayct77 at the link below, that difficulty would be...

That is exactly correct. My wife is inclined to want to put it on a trailer for the reasons I have mentioned previously. However, that project sounds to me like a major deal and probably not inexpensive. I am really trying to come up with adjustments to the Alaskan so that the concerns can be...

Will do. I am not familiar with the Avion Trailers. But my search is just beginning. Thanks

I do think that taking off the tailgate is a good idea in order to make loading and unloading the Alaskan easier and safer. I was thinking that if I did that I might want to wrap the exposed bottom of the Alaskan with sheet metal or the like to protect it from road crap. By the way, last year...
