Well, the time has come to part with our trusty truck and camper and pass it along for more adventures. We drove this truck down the Pan Am in 2016-2018 with the only issues being water pump and alternator. The previous owner drove the rig to Prudhoe Bay, so this rig has seen a lot of the...

Thanks for the replies! I have seen Carl's build before, but I suppose I dismissed it because it is much more elaborate than anything I have planned. Really, a flatbed or a service body would each provide a great solution. Ill just keep my eyes peeled and see what I can find over the next few...

Has anybody mounted a CO on a flatbed? There us so much wasted space in the box with these campers, I thought a flatbed would really maximize the usable space. If I remember correctly, somebody mentioned that the bed on a flat bed is higher than a stock bed. I already have to lift the camper to...

Nice rig! Were you guys up on Coeur d'Alene a few weeks ago? We saw a side entry Alaskan and were on our way to say hi but the truck left. As much as I wanted to check it out I didnt want to creep out the person by waving them down so let them go in peace!

That is an awesome idea! I’d probably take 4. We loaded up our Alaskan for the weekend just today!

We have a similar vintage Alaskan and a 1994 Dodge Ram 2500. I think 2x4 would be enough to clear the cab but we put a sheet of 1/2 plywood on top of the 2x4 just to make sure it clears. You won’t have any problems with balance. It’s a great truck/camper combo. Make sure to share some photos...

Free Ranger - Ive got a 1994 regular cab diesel Dodge with a 10' CO and it handles the weight just fine. The truck does have air bags to help handle the weight which is very important. Without the bags it's pretty much squatted down all of the way. With the airbags, it's just fine. With all...

Here is our Alaskan we have been traveling in for the last 9 months, well over 250 nights on the road to Ushuaia, Argentina. We put a fair amount of work into it but have just really enjoyed using it hard and have really got to know her well! Here are a few of our favorite shots to the halfway...

I had a revelation the other day with my hand pump that really helps with the softness on the downstroke. Figured I would share for others with the same problem. As mentioned in other places, first and foremost, the fluid level must be topped off or else air will get sucked into the pump and...

And I just realized this topic is discussed in the "sticky" section. Will repost there too.

I realize this this post is fairly old but I had a revelation the other day with my hand pump that really helps with the softness on the downstroke. Figured I would share for others with the same problem. As mentioned above, first and foremost, the fluid level must be topped off or else air...

Our Alaskan didn't have a bracket when we purchased it and we needed all the internal space we could get. After searching online for an option, I found this bracket which is very heavy duty. We have bounced the Alaskan around plenty over the last 18,000 miles and haven't had an issue with the...

Manfred - A couple additional pieces of information you might find useful. The internal dimensions of a 40' high cube container are as follows: L:12.056m 39' 6 ½ W:2.347m 7' 8 ¼ H:2.684m 8' 5½ Peculiarly, it doesn't cost any extra for a high cube container over a standard height container. I...

Hi Manfred, My wife and I just shipped our 86 Alaskan to Colombia from Panama last month. The fit is snug but it will fit. You can read about our shipping process here: http://ducknotes.org/archives/528 We hope you enjoy your new Alaskan as much as we have enjoyed ours! Ryan
