Wes, Rebuilding Alaskans is FUN just keep telling yourself that and carry on. Now the stuff by the slides, Bryan at Alaskan gave me some vinyl rope that you staple on as a seal it didn't last long so my wife made some new pieces out of a round rubber seal stuff they use in the construction...

Wes, I have two of the radius pieces of aluminum that fit on the top front leading edge. if you are still working on your Alaskan you can have them. After I put the extra plywood on they would not fit so they are just sitting in the shop. Let me know we can figure a way to get them to you...

Welcome Bryan, Its good to see you here! Lots of Alaskan owner here some need a little help at times. Mike in Hope

I redid the top of my 94 CO last year. Glued everything with Gorilla glue. My theory is that the top should not flex as much as the bottom as it rely is held on by the four rams. The 94 has spray foam insulation that keeps it tight anyway. On the outside I also added a 1/8 ply Baltic birch to...

I lost one one the way home from Baja so we stopped at Alaskan to have it replaced. Bryan did not have one and said that they where guaranteed by Fantastic fan. Being a little slow I had forgot about it until reading your post. I just got off the phone with fantastic fan and yes it guaranteed...

Ramblinman it is really quite simple win the lotto or work for 50 years. We did the latter. Cheers, Mike & Anne

Anne & I are in Baja now. We left B.C. on the 29 Nov and stopped to visit with friends in Yuma for a few days. We crossed at Alcadones(sp) and wandered the back roads to San Felipe stayed 2 days there. Continued on pavement almost to Gonzaga with the intent to stay and fish a few day but it...

I am a problem reducing pictures to a reasonable size. I will e-mail them to you. The front angle is made out of a doubled over thickness of the same aluminum as the sides so that it flexes a little. The only carpet type stuff I have is a small piece between the front and sides that is not...

I am just finishing up my upgrade (all new metal on the top half) and today started the new Perili. Our 94 CO has a larger angle on the front piece that locks the two sides pieces in when the are up. We have a seal on the side pieces but you cannot see it when it is up. Very water and wind...

Ours 94 Co has a arborite type interior in a wood grain design, not as nice as the older ones but it sure cleans up easily. The top half of ours is insulated with foam the older ones had a Fiberglas insulation. The upside to this is no leaks. I am in the middle of replacing all the aluminum...

I used to have a scary time loading and unloading my Alaskan. I can now do it by myself. I built two saw horses just an inch or so taller than my box height. Now I lift the back of my 10’ and place a horse under the back lower until it takes the weight, lift the front and drive almost all...

Has to be an Alaskan! And I am so envious

Love the pictures of the kids in Baja. We used to take our kids until they figured it wasn't cool to be with the parents. We cherish our memory's of them in Baja and they still talk about it.

Hi Glen and welcome. You are going to love your Alaskan, they are unique. Yes the valves restricts the flow to each ram, it takes a little messing with then to make them work well. Mine only has 2 one for the front and 1 for the back, seems they are all a little different. As to setting...

Congratulations! I look at a fiberglass Alaskan but could not make it fit my Dodge box without a major adjustment that I was not prepared to do at the time. I really liked it, and no wood rot to worry about. I am sure you are going to be very happy with it. Welcome to the club, you will...

Congratulations! You are going to love the Dodge, we sure do. Great fuel mileage too. As was all ready said get air bags even with the rear sway bar mine rolled around something awful until I installed them. I also installed rancho 9000 shocks, we drive the truck a lot with the camper off...

Pods8, I will take any pictures you would like, just let me know. Better yet we are not that far apart that we could come down your way some weekend and you could look at it yourself. I will be replacing my rear wall this winter and will know a lot more after that. We bought ours used, but...

We have used ours in the snow and had not thought about it until your post. With the sides down there is only a small area of the bed exposed, any rain or snow is on the outside when the sides and front are lifted into place. We also have the electric hydrolic (sp) lift so it is fast going up...

Our 94 10ft CO came with a 2 fantastic fan bases but no fans. I wanted a fan so after looking around I found the wiring for both stuck up in the wood in the ceiling. We now have the one over the stove with a fan and will put the over head one in as well. We also carry a 110 volt heater that...

Your welcome guys. We have been using it for the last few years and it does work good. Seems to be updated regularly as well, perhaps for the wild fire access roads. Gene, Yes Hope is a Great place to live. We moved here 14 years ago with the idea of someday retiring in a small community...

Here's another one for B.C. only. I have been meaning to post this for a while it lists all the government sites and also the forestry ones. We use it to find out of the way 4x4 sites. Use it lots it payed for with tax dollars yours and mine. http://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/recst/ Cheers, Mike
