5. Finally, my pick for the most likely reason your top is binding. Check to see if any of the attachment screws or bolts on the he stainless guides have worked loose, thereby creating a friction point on the slide. This was the cause of uneven raising and lowering on my 8'NCO. In addition...

I'm seeing that the new Alaskans come with a fan built into the roof vents now. Makes sense. I may have take a look at giving the computer fan idea a go...

Similar situation. 2 dogs, 2 humans. I was thinking that keeping the over head vent open a bit would help to mitigate this some. Was also thinking about installing one of these to use when I'm staying at places where I have the luxury of plugging in. linky

It weighed between 1500 ~ 1600. You could make it work on a 150 with the right tires and airbags I recon.

The primary use of my Alaskan will be Winter camping. I'm told that propane catalytic heaters put off moisture into the air creating a condensation issue. Does anyone have any direct experience with this as it relates the the Alaskan? Is there a way to mitigate condensation build up? Thanks!

We don't have the arctic pack and when it's raining and mid to lower 30's there's a LOT of condensation. We wipe it off but under those conditions it never dries. Arizona in winter at mid 20's is a piece of cake...dries every morning and not much condensation to start with. We would like to add...

Hi, Just took mine back to the mothership (Alaskan Campers) as I am fortunate enough to live within a reasonable drive to Chehalis WA. While there I had them replace seals and check the function of the 93 10' CO that I recently purchased. They used and recommended this product...

Just found a 10' cabover so I'm selling my 1988, 8' cabover. The listing is here: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3684/

This is a 1988, 8' Alaskan camper with cab over bunk. It's in very good condition with no dry rot or leaks. Inside is clean and in great shape. Ready to go for Fall fishing and hunting trips, or Winter ski trips. All appliances function. This is a smaller unit and will fit most short bed...

Here's a 1988 8' cabover in the Seattle area: http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/rvs/1925981469.html

^^^ Here is that thread with an update from me... My link

Update... ^^^ The CO I purchased was mounted through the trucks bed. When I removed it from the sellers truck I was struck by how little was really holding the thing in place. Four bolts with basic washers running through the floor of the camper, through sheet metal without reinforcement. This...

$400 seems like a lot to spend. Try doing a Google search on roof rack air deflectors. While you may need more hight than what these offer, it might provide a starting point from which you could fabricate your own. I have seen several NCO rigs where the owner mounted a roof top basket in font...

The 77 CO I had, had those cut outs as well. The 88 I have now doesn't. I've thought about adding them however I'm a little concerned about heat loss as my primary reason for having it is for Winter camping. X2 what paul said about blocking up the base of the camper. In my case I had to block...

I know it's an NCO but holly smokes does it look clean... $750 starting bid and I doubt you would need to do much if anything to it. My link

Given the age and posted condition, $2000 seems pretty high. I picked up a 1988 8" CO recently for $1600.00. It is in pretty good shape. There are a few things that I will update/improve but they are minor.

Here's my new rig... It's a 1988 in pretty fresh condition.

Here are two Alaskan campers for sale at only $800 (maybe for both?). One is cab-over one isn't. http://slo.craigslist.org/rvs/1781492319.html I read it as $800 for the nco and $1000 for the co... They look like early to mid 70's vintage.

Hello, thanks for your responses. Picked up the new camper last night. It was bolted to the bed of the truck and was a bit of a PITA to remove. I looked at the BIllis Split mount. They specify that this is not for off road use? Here's a picture of the 8' cabover that I am selling.

Howdy, New member here. Recently purchased an 1988 8' cab over Alaskan, and will be mounting it to my 04' Dodge 2500. I have seen that some people bolt through the bed of the truck to secure the camper. Considering that the camper wont be on the truck full time, this seems like it will be a...
