I’m trying to confine most movement to the mounting points and their rubber elements. If you think about it, that’s how pickup beds are mounted— I’m just building one without the sheet metal sides & bottom, and a lot more supporting structure.

I just gave several products a look and that idea looks promising. Add it to the task list, I guess. Thanks!

Thank you for the reply, PR. I’m thinking I painted an unclear picture of the plan I have in mind: the floor of that camper will in no way be unsupported. I’m only trying to establish whether three joists on 24’s across, or one longitudinally would be the most effective. At this point I’m...

A buddy and are going to put my camper on a '72 IH dually, and I'm trying to figure out how much support the floor will need. The truck doesn't have a bed (it was a fire truck previously), so we're going to mount the camper on an 8'x4' welded steel subframe that will bolt to the truck frame...

'73 Alaskan 10' CO FS on Portland, OR Craig's.

I’m really sorry— I completely dropped the ball on this. I’ve decided to part with the heaterless NCO this would have gone into, so I no longer need it. Thank you for getting back to me, though.

Actually, I just looked and their pricing on 100’ rolls is $1.59/foot.

If you’re going to part that camper out, I’d love to have the upper front window.

This also makes sense. Thanks for the ideas. Hope you’re able to figure the pic procedure out— too complicated for me.

Hmmm, ok. Interesting. Thank you very much for mentioning that. I’ve located a camper, and am going to go pick it up in a few weeks, and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna have it come undone on me on the way back home. If it doesn’t have that bolt, I’ll ratchet-strap it from the front jack...

Still looking. Thanx.

Fiberglass Alaskan on Roseburg, CA CL. Owner is moving, wants $800. No affiliation.

That cab-to-camper distance will be factored in when we mount the camper to the '72 IH 4x4 dually I have. We'll be able to set it to any clearance we want (within reason). Amen, brother: I lived in SE WY for 18 years. The name "Bordeaux" is the "Judith Gap" of the area, inspiring respect and...

Thank you for the information, very helpful. Judith Gap: that rings a bell, like I've been through there, just can't remember where it is.

Taku, I discovered a CL search tool that cuts countrywide CL searching from hours to minutes, thought it might be handy for you in your 8' CO search. www.searchtempest.com Apologies if you already knew about that.

I read a classified on the Alaskan website from a seller offering for sale the "BOTTOM HALF ONLY" (his caps) of an 8' CO. Top half lifted off while driving in the wind. Located in Wyoming. Whodathunkit. This got me thinking. I lived in WY for quite a while, so I still visit frequently...

Here's what I found in my search for the same thing: 1.There is one FS on Reno CL, with or without '90's Dodge pickup. A member here said the same camper has been on CL for years, making him suspicious of it. 2. There is one FS on Albuquerque CL, refurbished, lots of mods, (high) priced...

Excellent-- thank you!

Thank you for the input, especially confirmation of the "stuff" hunch that motivated this search initially. My girlfriend likes to travel well-equipped. If that Reno CO has been for sale for years, I can see why: it's back on CL for more money than previously, which is pretty fishy economic...

This summer, there was a 10' CO for sale 8 miles up the road. Good condition, good price. I should have bought it (my RV truck project is a cab/chassis right now, so I can mount an 8' or 10') for convenience sake alone. The clarity of hindsight. That one in Nanaimo seems to be well priced...

Missed one in Reno because of the distance, but hope springs eternal. TTT.

Back to the top, still looking.

Desperately seeking an Alaskan 8' cabover in good shape (no rot) within a day's drive of Longmont, CO. My purchase of an 8' NCO was not well thought out, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need the space provided by that cabover bunk. I'd even include that camper in a trade, if someone is...

Do you have a heater? I could use one.

I didn’t specify the truck the camper would be on, because up to this point I didn’t it was relevant to the discussion. The camper will be going on an IH 1310 4x4 dually, more than enough truck for any Alaskan model I’m aware of. The bed is whatever we want to weld up because it was formerly a...
