I have carried a flat Rotopax in the very front of the bed on its side standing up in front of the camper carrying diesel in it. It sits in mostly wasted space in my vehicle (camper is moved rearword about an inch to accommodate it). I have a siphon hose to siphon diesel to the truck tank. The...

Regarding the above post..... NML..... (Not many laughs).... :-)

Quote: I"m a thetford guy but this morning, I just realized I may need to change for conditions. My poop this morning was frozen solid. I'm not sure though if it would be any better with wag bags. I'd start with a LOT warmer sleeping bag, myself....

Yes, Wiggy's is great gear. I like mine a lot. But it is not even close in price to $17 on sale bags..... That comparing peanut butter protein to kolbe steaks. A place for both in the market, but the purpose is about all they have in common. This is not meant to be catty......, more "perspective".

Too bad we can't return the beer......"slightly" used. Lol

Alaskan CUSTOM makes each and every camper for a customer to the CUSTOMER's specifications. The length you want..... Any length you want in fact. Interior arrangement is also specified by the customer. Yes, there are actually limits to things like CO length because of the laws of physics...

Costco is slowly adding diesel pumps to their fuel fill stations over time (loooong time),.....where they have room.

We had the Alaskan upholstery and mattress replaced by Alaskan (bought used). My wife was not keen on any of the factory fabric options, so Bryan told her to buy whatever fabric she liked from wherever she wanted, and bring it or ship it to them, and they would replace the old fabric with that...

Re: NL vs Alaskan campers. Well, I'm biased, I prefer the Alaskan. I really like the low profile under way, plus low cg. I don't mind the bit of extra dinking around to raise/ lower the camper top. However, my CEO/CFO/SO/DW :-) much prefers the higher ceiling of the NL, particularly over the...

Skutumpah- Thank you for sharing your information on lightning strikes and how it relates to the safety of the occupants of campers of various construction materials. Additionally, I'm thinking a TALL camper would be more likely to get hit out on the prairie/flatlands than a short one, so the...

Rusty- The "narrow dinette" option is NOT wide enough for 2 adults on each side of the table (front dinette floorplans). Not standard American sized adults, anyway. Mine is not handy to measure right now, since it is stored indoors away from my home, but I'm guessing both seats are about half...

The opposite happened to me in Texas. I have both WA pickup plus camper plates displayed as required on my Alaskan Camper/Chevy combination. I had a local officer follow me into a strip mall parking lot to discuss with me my 2 plates on the back of my rig, which is completely illegal in Texas. I...

Someone on a forum had a leg less cut down (sides) utility sink as a shower pan. Since then I have analyzed utility sinks for that reappropriation..... A few have looked like they would work well as a shower pan. A sheet metal shop could fabricate the exact size you want out of your choice of...

The narrow (1 person each side of table) front dinette allows quite a bit more storage space. These are pretty much a 2 person (adults) max rig, anyway.

I hope Garmin can smooth out the wrinkles in the system, PLUS make it more intuitive (user friendly) for us techno-retards.... For we are legion. :-)

I see adding quite a bit of flexibility at a low price point a GREAT idea... If it fits their/someone's needs... Admittedly not for everyone, and likely not even most of us see a benefit.

Squatch.... Great way to add large amounts of flexibility to the Truck camper! One of the drawbacks (leave easily in camp) has now been solved for special situations! I like it!

For those choosing, keep in mind you are hearing from a group of self selected TC owners..... Me included. NOT that we're biased, or anything.... lol

Don't they all, if they live long enough, eventually become "older models"....? Why does that sound familiars? Lol

Mods, Somewhere along the way should this be split off into a "vehicle theft prevention" thread?

I REALLY like the custom flat bed version like Carlyle on EP had Alaskan camper build. The CO portion is over a large storage compartment, eleminating the "flip-down" front and sides on the CO part. The sealing issues are very straightforward on this camper. I will edit adding links.... Found...

There might be a difference long term in water intrusion, and therefore ultimately damage. Seems like there are many more vulnerable locations/seals/gaps on a CO for penetration. I wouldn't sweat the difference for primarily using the CO in dry climate, but I would take that factor into...

http://olivertraveltrailers.com Take a quick look at Oliver TTs. These are high quality fiberglass TTs that uses more fiberglass/resin materials than a TC, and they use very high quality hardware throughout. Their production numbers are low (at this point) but their price for the larger unit is...

^^^^^^^^ Photos??

I'm south in my Northern Lite for now..... Alaskan is up north. The fabric we used boils down to taste/preferences, so pictures wouldn't weigh much here, anyway. LOTS of choices at upholstery and fabric stores. Let your lady suite herself...:-)
