Thanks for the suggestion, but I can’t really travel to retrieve an 8’ CO with my daily driver: it’s a Dodge PW Quad Cab with a ladder rack & crossover box. If I did find the motivation to remove these, the atrocious fuel economy would easily add $500+ to the price of a camper, and I’m not sure...

Thank s for the info. I've got a 6K axle on the rear and a 3K up front, so weight is less a worry than a consideration here.

Thank you both for the info!

I think I might have been a little hasty in buying the 8'NCO I bought because I'm starting to have some misgivings about the amount of space inside. Sure enough, I found a 10' CO for sale locally, and I was wondering what a ballpark weight would be. I think it's from the '70's (they didn't...

Please! I could also really use a pic of the exhaust vent so I can determine whether it would work in my Alaskan, if you could.

I'd be interested in both of those, and I can provide beer. Could you post up the dimensions of that furnace?

The worst part of swapping out that bad tank will be actually getting it free of the woodwork surrounding it. Gonna require an archeologist's sensibility, I'm thinking.

Thank yo very much for that! The fitting location shouldn't matter too much, since I can modify the piping as needed. The material used for my '69 is some sort of hard plastic. ABS/Polyethylene would almost certainly be a better option. Thank you for the info. I really wanted the above...

Thank you very much for that. I guess I'll have to call Alaskan, because I can't find any water tanks online with that vertical configuration.

Can someone provide me with those dimensions? My water tank leaks as fast as it’s filled (with drain valve closed, and no leaking bulkhead fittings), and the camper is parked 150 mi. away. Thank you.

Nice build! The PO of my Alaskan had the same idea in mind, but he didn’t pull it off quite so nicely, in function or form: (At this point, a photo was to be inserted, but Tapatalk doesn’t do that with this forum apparently, and I don’t do photo hosting. Imagine an 8’ NCO perched on a blue...

Well, like I say, I’m pretty sure he bought his earlier than 1969, because he bought his pickup in 1966, and my hunch is he bought truck & camper at the same time. I’m also pretty positive I can remember his in or before ‘69, so that argues against my original idea, too. There are no decals or...

Mine was built in Ft Lupton, which would be where my grandfather’s was likely built. Tapatalk is being a little diva right now, and will not allow me to upload a pic of the data plate, so maybe tomorrow. The number is 76909751, anyway.

I called Alaskan and was informed that their records don’t go far enough back. My serial number begins with 769, and pretty sure my grandfather bought his well before 1969, so it was a fool’s errand anyway. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Good plan. Thank you. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I bought an older 8’ NCO last week, one that is, to my memory, identical to the one my grandfather owned in the late ‘60’s/early ‘70’s. Last night, it dawned on me that there’s a chance it could actually BE the one my grandfather owned, but obviously such a wild idea requires some confirmation...
