    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Between the bed and camper.

    All the above sounds good. I have had similar concerns and solutions. I travel daily on over 5 miles of gravel, with washboard and pot holes, so was concerned for my 10 1/2 ft CO Alaskan. I also needed some spacing to provide roof clearance on my 2003 F250 Supercab. I already had a 3/4" rubber...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West A couple of questions for you

    "Alaskan in the Wind" Good idea strapping it down. I didn't and top half of my 70's vintage 10ft C/O "blew off". A very strong cross wind with gusts to 90+ mph got between truck box side and bottom edge of camper. Due to the lower side rail on my 2003 Ford Super Duty, the gap was 4+ inches...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Wind-Induced Uplift a Problem?

    I'm in SW Alberta where wind can be an issue at times, (110 - 120 mph) I lost the top of a 70's vintage C/O Alaskan. My current Alaskan, 2003 10 ft C/O, came with the lock-down bolt on driver's side. I added one to passenger's side when I saw that it trying to lift. (2 - 3") Since then, I've...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How to open upper door from inside when lowered?

    Yes, I see the picture now and it shows the door latch I had on previous camper and mine had the extension rod to open from inside when top down. I'll have to look for an older latch if I want to do that on my 2003 Alaskn. Thanks for the picture

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Clearance light wiring

    Thanks for the clearance light advice. I have gone thru each light separately, cleaning contacts in bulb & trying to improve contact to the skin ground. All lights working for now. The light contacts are copper & corrode very quickly here. (Near many gas wells) so, I ordered & received a set...

    Trying to learn why I'm not getting power to some clearance lights on my 2003 10ft Alaskan. All contacts at each light have been cleaned up. I don't know the wiring pattern. Any help?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How to open upper door from inside when lowered?

    Hi there, I'm new to this site and just saw the notes on opening the upper door when top down. That was useful & easier on an older version. Now on my 2003 the lock set is different. I could not see the picture included in the post from "thisoldcamper" in July 2015. I'd sure like to learn...
