The weight listed on the camper is the weight without any options or gear. Total weight is different for everybody. Go to a scale and get a weight. Water weight is 8 lbs per gallon. I have to put my truck on a diet because of gear and battery bank.

I just had a personal experience with that. Had to lockup the brakes after someone locked them in front of me on a passing Lane. Had I been overweight , I wouldn't of been able to stop. I almost didn't. I had no where to go.

The problem is not carrying camper you can beef things up. The problem is stopping when you need to.

It depends on your needs. I have an Alaskan and won't trade it for a full up unit.

3100 miles one way. East coat to West coast.

Mine has awning rails. I just bent some electrical conduit made a point to slide into rail. I then installed 2 shower curtains. It works great cheap and quick to set up.

Contact Bryan at Alaskan. My factory mattress is very comfortable.

I am actually staying at frontier town with some friends.

I will arrive Saturday the 15th of August and leave the 22nd.

They are not made to take off and use quickly. It takes me about 45 minutes to put on and take off. You have to use tripod jacks because the upper part drops down no room to bolt the electric jacks. The beauty is you can go any where the truck can go by itself no real reason to unload while...

Mine has a lever buiilt in to the latch. Allows you to open door from inside. Talk to Bryan at Alaskan. If don't have lever you can probably get parts from Alaskan to modify. I have used mine several times with the top down. You just can't run furnace because vent is blocked.

I own one 2 years old and I love it. Roughly 1800 pounds dry. If you look at truck camper magazine online there are several interviews on the Alaskan. Mine is the empty nester. They have the base model and you can customize from there. Bryan at Alaskan is great to work with.

The front has springs for movement. The rear tie down don't do much work and you just snug them.

I have the hapijack installed by the factory. It bolts through the front wall of the bed. The rear attaches to the bumper. It has a very low profile when the camper is not on. You also don't have the problem with road salts rusting the tie down brackets especially if you drive in the Northeast.

I have 8 year old 6 volt batteries and still holding on. If you have the room and vented cabinet can't beat the golf cart batteries. They take a beating.

I use the ctek ds250+ with the smart charger and 4awg cable from the truck batteries to charge the house batteries at up to 70ah with 2 6v golf cart batteries. I no longer bring generator that will only charge at up to 30ah with the shore power plug.

I have the ds250 dual paired with the optional unit I believe is called the bypass. It works great. I have 6 volt golf cart batteries that I purposely discharged to 50% to see the effects. It was charging at over 60A and continually adjusted the output as batteries reached the full charge. It...

They will make 7.5 foot model possibly smaller. Mine is 8' on dodge Cummins 6' bed. When I orderd wanted as much camper as possible. I don't run the tailgate.

I'm in Massachusetts at the intersection of interstate 90 and 91. Enjoy the leaf peeping.
