The wood smell was intoxicating! Never went to prom but prancing around the Alaskan Factory is probably a better deal :D It's rare enough to see one Alaskan but to be surrounded by them in all stages was mind boggling. Here's another ( lousy, excuse the glare ) pic from their entry wall.

And here's their break room kitchen plus a framed sign. I've thoughtfully added the ceiling light reflections so everyone can see they're up to code. Great visit!

Some bare bones, and I wonder what year this model is?

Woodwork everywhere.

Good grief I don't know why these pictures are jumping all over the place. Here's a bigger picture of the factory, and a jacket we should all have.

An Alaskan sans roof, and the work being done to the interior

Here's some photos from a couple of weeks ago when I visited the Alaskan factory in Winlock. Had a blast, I felt like a kid in a candy store. I'm still figuring out the picture-loading steps so excuse any goofups. My photography is also spectacular ... My two favorites are below. Love the...

Thanks for sharing this info, Rusty! Excellent reference

They have an option for insulated flooring, I'm not sure if that includes the cabover or not. I'll be at their factory in a couple of weeks and can find out ( in addition to a zillion other newb questions I'm sure! )

Thanks for the info, Canyon and AllanB! Very good to know. Hmm. I've also been delaying truck purchase as for other purposes the aluminum would probably suit me well and I wanted to see how it turned out. Have favored the Ford as I grew up w/a Dodge that was, er....dodgy ( terrible joke sorry )...

Wow, that is exactly the rig I'm aiming for. Barring the diesel bit...my wallet hasn't been whacked yet. Bravo!! I'm visiting the factory next month, can't wait. Looking forward to more pics, Canyon!

Feel free to ignore if this suggestion is too off-topic, but one of my all time favorite books is, 'Winterdance', by Gary Paulsen. True story of training for ( in Minnesota ) and running the Iditarod. I've never laughed out loud so much reading a book as I have with this one! Enjoy...

Exactly Sage, you just nailed the flaw in my thinking. " But it's FRUIT, so it has to be good for me! " Rolling along in my state of happy denial...d'oh. Seriously though, way to go on the hard-won 'miracle'.

Great achievement, Sagebrush! Sugar is my downfall, but I've found seedless grapes are a great snack for road trips, especially when it's hot. Sweet and no crumbs! I keep them in a cooler and pull them out bunch by bunch. At this point I feel like a rolling commercial for seedless grapes...

Thanks for sharing! That looks like a 'bucket list' trip for me! Seems like you guys got it dialed :)

That looks fabulous! Eastern Sierras are within shouting distance for me and I'm so looking forward to getting my wheels. Made my dog jealous too. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the input everybody. Ideally I'd like a reliable used - ha in my dreams - but seeing how I know small planes a little bit but not trucks your replies are very helpful. I'm currently curious about the F250 and your opinions on gas vs. diesel?

Hi everybody, A newbie here. After many years of dreaming and scheming I'm finally starting the process of putting together an Alaskan/truck combo. Choosing the Alaskan Camper is decided, however I'm not so familiar with trucks and would like to nail down the truck/heavy camper combo to the...
