Camper Alaskan

camper Alaskan

I redid my roof section a few years ago. Not a hard job except for the rot I found, below the windows and on the leading edge on the front of the cab over. I have a full wood shop that made everything easy. Our building code here now requires a product called blue skin around all new windows...

Nice shed!

I also had a lot of problems with my propane fridge, actually two of them I now have a 12 volt electric one don't know the name but it is made in Germany. I ran my fridge with the top down but installed two computer fans to circulate air even when moving. Not parking on level ground was the...

You wont be sorry going with Alaskan! This is one of nicest builds I have seen. My old one will have to do, but I am envious.

My floor was not rotted but I made a sub-frame using 2x3s and insulated in between with Styrofoam. It insulated the floor and gave more strength to the floor. I glued and screwed it to the existing floor. This may work in your case.

Mine was to wide for my 99 dodge diesel and also not high enough so I screwed and glued 4 2x2s to the existing floor and also insulated with Styrofoam in between, helps keep it warm. Mine came with a aftermarket black water tank the was strapped to the bottom, a little micky mouse so when I...

When I had my camper apart a few years ago I replaced all the screws with stainless, they are like the day I put them in. Also not a fan of silicone and used polyurethane instead it is also holding up fine and it will stick to itself if I find a problem. You just can't beat these old campers...

I hope you have fixed this by now. I had one go in the same place as yours while in the Baja. Not that bad of a job really, at least that what I can say now but sure looked bad then. My paneling was nailed on with small nails so was fairly easy to remove even with the top down as mine came...

In a past life I was a commercial truck driver. If you don't upset the scale master he (she) can give you up 1000 pounds over your gvw. I am 300 pounds over when fully loaded but as the fuel and water get used it reduces your gvw and in your case it would put you legal very quick so go have...

My 94 does that occasionally, check the screws that hold the lights to the camper, one is a ground. On mine simple taking them out and putting them back works.

So the other link does not work so try http://maps.gov.bc.ca/ess/sv/imapbc/ Ok I have made this work kind of...apparently I am not saving it right so highlight the above address and open in a new link and it will take you to the maps, This is a new one and I am not familiar with it yet...

OK this should give you what you need http://maps.gov.bc.ca/ess/sv/imapbc/ You will need to down load MS silverlight to run them but it gives you the whole province. They have changed the mapping system, this is the newest one I think. If you could log into the government version it is...

Hand guns are a no no, long guns are different, what ever that phone # gives you get a copy to give to customs just in case, you never know what kind of day they are having. Some of the customs people have no idea and make it up as they see fit. I will see if I can find an old website for off...

Welcome! Lot of good information about Alaskans here. if you can not find it in the files just ask, someone will have done it and be more than willing to share. The work is almost done then now the fun begins.

When I rebuilt my 94 I put brake lights on the top portion this is run off the rear 7 pin plug on the Dodge as are my clearance lights. my propane bottle is partially blocking the driver side brake light. I also add a gel deep cycle battery but I add a set of #4 wires to charge it, they plug in...

Yup sucks for sure and I don't know if the blue skin is UV safe. I kind of screwed up on the rear panel but an extra piece of aluninum molding covered it up. Might work for you. Everybody makes mistakes It how you cover them that makes you a craftsman.

Looking good, When I got to this stage I started to slow down, took me almost as long to finish as it did to get to this point, I just didn't it as work on as much. Not a clue why.

Ask the good folks at "Baja Nomad" some one will give you the right answer.

I went out this morning and look at mine. The drip rail around the radius edge isn't as deep so that it can be bent around the edge. I have not seen that moulding in picture 2 used like that but it does make sense, still looks like the moulding for a awning though.

Looking good! You wont regret all the work and money. Mine still look like it just came out of the show room.

The first picture is the drip cap it goes along the radius.from the front along the edge to the bottom, this stuff bend easy. I do not have any of the picture two..looks the same stuff I took off that attached an old awning. That's the best I can do from pictures.

Did my 94 a couple of years ago it was fun! The J Chanel will go with the help of a rubber hammer, I used a router with a carbide straight bit to finish sizing everything wd40/moveit kept the bit lubricated..go slow or it will fill the bit with aluminum. The large panel on the top I held...
