Hope your wife has a quick recovery Wes.

Welcome to the Alaskan group. Good information and answers to your questions here.

I have taken my Alaskan to Baja a number of times, never had a problem. And yes 4 wheel drive off road, the alaskan handles it fine. They where built for the Alaska hwy before pavement . Mine is stock I have not add anything. I have had problems with my tye down system to the truck, had that...

If your in the pacific north west I have the lower side pieces. You are welcome to them. I instaled my aluminum then trimmed around the windows with a router and carbide bit.

I redid my top half with new aluminum 2 years ago purchased it from Bryon at Alaskan all cut to fit. He also had new decal for the sides. Not a big job. Came in a roll. Do you just need the sides or the whole top?

Hi this is in Vancouver B.C. its a 10' not an 8 but the price seems not bad, 1989 10' OTC Alaskan Camper fits in modern trucks. - $3500 Took me almost a year to find mine so hang in there,

I load my Alaskan loads without the tailgate. With the Dodge if you no not remove the tailgate you can not lower the spare tire.

I too have thought of doing this, even have the trailer to do it with. I would like to be able to move it around the yard as well. I think it would be a great use of your Alaskan when it gets difficult to load and unload. The wind resistance would still be quite low and probably would not...

I have the same problem. Just can not seem to balance both up and down so I set both my valves to work even going up. The front comes down first so I have a bunjee cord (that keeps my door open on the rear) that I pull on for the first 2 in. or so then it comes down even. I tryed everything...

The $800 was just for the aluminum for the top half including all the corner mold not including the door. Alaskan had it all cut to rough fit. I supplied the labour. Its a a fun project if you have a warm dry place to work and the necessary tools. Again its worth doing if you can buy it right...

I replaced the aluminum skin, back wall and some of the stringers on mine. It had been abused by the first owner by putting a boat loader on the roof, then a 14ft boat and two kayaks. it realy didn't have a chance. The tin was about $800. Its a major project and you will need a warm dry...

Yes! You are one lucky man. Custom for sure and very nice.

On my 94 there is a ground wire on the overhead just above the drivers door. I have to keep this clean (once a year) or my marker lights dim. I have also switched to LEDs so that should make some diffence. Mine are not like the xmas light as one can burn out and the rest still worked. Sounds...

I repaced my pirelli seals two years ago have not had a problem with lifting since. I watch it pretty close and if I seen it lift I would also drill the holes for the bolts but not until it's a problem again.

Wes, I think I have my old one from 94 it is still in good shape. Just the holes from the lights. We will be coming down to Bellingham in the next week or so, could through it in the back. You are welcome to it, just couldn't throw it out.

Our gas and diesel are the same price $1.31.9(cdn) or approximately $4.99 a US gallon. We are outside the Vancouver city limits so do not have the transit tax they have of +/- 15 cents a liter. It getting dam expensive to go anywhere even empty. Our Alaskan only cost about 1 mile per gallon so...

I found a wrench from a ignition set worked because it is small, thin and offset. On a CO model its fairly simple I undid the top one when it was up and the bottom when down, then pride the side out with a wedge the piece then slid out of the bottom. I replaced all with stainless and large...

Great job on your rebuild, isn't it fun. When I did my 94 I didn,t have go near as far as you..and I am thankful for that. I used treated wood to replace my stringers seams have worked out well. Also around the leading edges I used a blue rubber type material called blue skin that my...

My wife's family is from this area and we are going to try to be up there in May 2013. She still has lots of cousins that she has not seen in a long time. Annes G-Grand father came over from Scotland in the early 1800 to work for the Hudsons Bay co her grand father also work for them. I...

The rams where updated when I bought the camper. The previous owner updated them from Alaskan. Don't know the cost but it would be an easy update except for the back wall beside the toilet. I found a small 12 volt pump out of a convertible car that I am going to try. Looks like the same...

Welcome Nate. We also have a 94 they are a very well built campers. I also had to replaced the Pereli seal around ours. We purchased ours from Alaskan, its not cheap though. ($150.+/-) Ours also had many dings and the paint was bad, never did find a cleaner that worked so I replaced all...

In Hope B.C. our gas is at $1.33/9 per liter or $5.07 per US gal. Diesel is at 1.26/9 per liter or $4.80 US gal. I haven't looked at Mexico but I am sure its cheaper. Sure wished we could spend another winter down there.

Yes your right it would have to be parallel to the existing pump. The pump is the only thing that bothers me, Everything else works flawlessly. I have the updated rams that lift fast and probably would lift twice as much as they do, as long as the pump works. It one of those thing that will...

Sorry to take so long to reply Wes, with they nice weather we have been out and about. The vinyl - rubber stuff I used I got from my son who is a contractor in Vancouver. I will be seeing him this weekend and will find out the name of the stuff and where he purchase it. I need to make some...

On my 94 the line are plastic. Looks to be about the same as airline on a semi truck. If this is the case you should be able to buy a coupler to join the pieces at the break from a truck dealer. I found a new to me pump from a Chrysler convertible that looks to be about the same size as my...
