Well myself with the help of a gentleman in Tennessee we have reproduced a ALCAN emblem. The reproduction is in plastic and is almost a perfect match. Had to reinforce the bottom part of the lettering. If you have a Facebook come join us at Alaskan camper club.

New information has been confirmed that there was a A.C.C.I. chapter called the ROADRUNNERS. They were in Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Louisiana. Also that there was at one time a Alaskan camper manufacturer in Houston TX. Chasing history is fun and exhausting but bringing new information...

And possibly one more? Oklahoma Roadrunner's I can't download any pictures with my phone but as soon as I can I shall share pictures.

So now we know much much more with eight chapters Pioneers: Southern California. Washington: Evergreens C-Coasters: Central California Forty-Niners: Northern California Deserteers: Southern California Desert Area Oregon Beavers: Oregon Wyoming Broncs: Wyoming Nevada NEVADANS: Nevada

So this is what we have aquired so far. One ACCI round club plaque that we are starting to reproduce in plastic. One pioneers rocker also reproducing. I just aquired a 49'ers rocker, a NEVADANS rocker, a BEAVERS rocker for Oregon. And last but not least a original Alcan emblem. All are going to...

Fesser if you have a fb account look up Alaskan Camper Club. Also there is a fellow who is reproducing the plaques. Love to see the newsletter. Thank you for your reply.

Searching for information regarding the club. Newsletters, pictures, how many chapters there were. What is known is very limited.

Also the clearance lights have a ground wire that contacts the camper skin. If you have a loose screw it can break contact and the whole system could fail.

I have been searching for a low cost hydraulic hand pump for Alaskan's and found this. https://www.toolots.com/single-acting-hydraulic-hand-pump.html

My old folding five steps were made of steel and quite heavy. They worked great with my Alaskan on my 02 Cummins but were to long for the military Alaskan trailer. Picked up a set of aluminum four steps and the length is perfect for my needs.

They did make them with the squared corners as I have seen them before.

I had a great trip out to Bridgeport, CA. and back only have a couple problems. One the heater core in my RC started leaking and I had to bypass it under the hood. Second was the surge brakes on the trailer failed. Under extreme braking the wheel cylinders blew from me trying to not take out...

I use a highlift jack to adjust height then place the keeper pin in accordingly.

Last night I had the telescoping landing legs welded to the back of the trailer. Front to back leveling will be done by the tongue jack and side to side leveling by the two rear stabilizers. Needs to be level for the propane refrigerator to work correctly.

Took the trailer out for the first test tow and it pulled flawlessly around town and up on the interstate. Very pleased how it turned out and can't wait for all the adventures in the future.

The M116A3 camper trailer conversion is complete. Thank you everyone for your suggestions and comments. Heading out at the end of July for Bridgeport CA for a family camp out.

I will tell you I sure miss my drill press. Drilling all these holes with a 3/8 corded hand drill is son of a gun. Had to step away for a few and let the drill cool down. Got one of four angles done this morning and hope to get one more done before it gets to hot out. Finished two of the four...

About two months ago I was looking for telescoping landing legs for the back of the trailer. I seen these on Amazon and thought they would be perfect. Knucklehead me didn't read the entire listing and when they arrived is all I can say is they are for a low deck cargo trailer. In total about two...

I was an Alaskan camper hoarder for a while. At one time I had four Alaskans. First was a 59' nco, Second a 84' eight foot cab over, Third a 74' 10 foot nco not pictured and last was a 81' cab over that I kept and used for eight years. The 59' is pictured on a 06' Tundra that was my first truck...

Yesterday morning myself and a couple other guys loaded the Alaskan on the trailer. In one of the pictures you can see it was a tight fit. Bigfoot Dave Behind the lunette is a small heavy duty shock that controls the pressure to the master cylinder. If that shock is worn out it will cause the...

I have owned six Alaskan's since 2008 and each one needed repair of some sort or another. My first was a 59' NCO and I refinished the cabinets and reupholstered the cushions only. Latest is a 1968 NCO and needs extensive dry rot repair in the top section. You can find a good later model year in...

Got most of the trailer modification done. Took two and half inches out of each inner fender so to widen the deck so the Alaskan camper will fit between the fenders.Welded brackets to hold the horizontal propane tank and a place for two 7 gallon water jugs. Have on order a aluminum lock box that...

1968 Alaskan nco I acquired a couple years ago. Out of all my Alaskan's I have had this by far is the nicest original interior one I have ever got. All the appliances work on propane and I was surprised when the fridge got cold and the freezer made ice.

I just found out that it wasn't Brian that had a stroke but a coworker of his. Still prayers go out to Brian's coworker and family.

Ran into a little snag. Space between the fenders on the trailer is 45 inches. The width of my camper is 48 inches, fudge. No worries though going to take 2 inches total out of both inboard trailer fenders so that will give an inch to spare on clearance. If it was easy everybody would do it...
