I am using the iOverlander app. Kind of like it.

I’m looking at end chain roller blinds maybe. Or mini blinds.

The seals on my camper are in nice shape, but the uppers are installed with a gap to the upper sidewall. It gets a little breezy and lets in bugs. Where do I order seal material from? Thanks

Thank you Denver At 6’ almost 2 I clonk my noggin constantly on the vintage 12v 110v fixtures I just roared out and measured- the 6-3/4” is a perfect replacement to cover the non patina area left by the original fixture! Yay

Does anyone know the O ring size or part number for my 1974 with 1-3/16” OD cylinder and 3/4” pistons?

I run a 2006 3500 Dodge 8 ft bed 4wd quad cab (small rear doors) owned since 2008 and a new to me 1974 vintage 10’ CO. The long truck takes a bit of parking management in cities. Everywhere else is fine. The rear cab area with doors is great for camper work. Next step may be a flatbed with...

Hi Denver Alaskan - do you remember where you found the LED ceiling lights? Are they switched at the fixture? Thanks

Big warshers to spread the load... Someone will chime in I’m sure. Mine is held by tie downs to the jack brackets like the picture ^ but I know through the floor to the truck bed was a common mounting as well.

Thanks Denver Alaskan

Thanks Denver - great thread. Many ideas for my 1974 CO.

Towing a trailer is a pain in the a$$ to be avoided if at all possible. Signed, The guy with 7 trailers.

Yep. GMC/Chevrolet, Ford, Ram, Nissan, & Toyota.

I have a piece of parachute cord tied to the handle and looped through the pull on my ‘74. It is useful for closing the top door. I can pull the cord and unlatch the handle from the wind catch on the back wall. I test pulled vertically a number of times with the top up. I got looking I might...

Thanks I missed that in your earlier post. If I discover the size and a part number I’ll come back and post the info.

In the olden days awnings had a rope sewn in that you slid in the channel. There would be a loose end that dangled out of the channel to install and remove the awning.

flyboykev - what is the diameter of the lift cylinders in your camper? I need to discover the o ring dimensions for my 1974 and stock some aboard. Thanks

Me take a look tomorrow

I don’t see a lock down place on my ‘74. I leave the needle valve cracked open on the hydraulic lift to allow for temp and pressure changes. I see zero movement of the top when travelling even when meeting cow haulers in crosswinds ... Is a lock there and I don’t know it? Thanks

Optimistic- warranty period and service life are different periods of time.

I haul my 1974 10ft CO on a 06 Dodge 3500, 8 ft box quad cab, 4wd, single rear wheel diesel manual trans. The weight and handling are nice. A plan is afoot for a flatbed with aluminum side boxes under the wings of the Alaskan. A bed extension will be used to support the end of the camper. Hasn’t...

My 1974 front dinette weighs 1700-1800lbs

I am considering using a single axle enclosed trailer as a moto garage behind the camper. I would be lifting the trailer a bit to get some additional clearance at the rear for mild off pavement travel / ditch and wash clearance. We have a single axle rubber torsion suspension trailer in the...
