David, Thanks for the compliment! It was a super fun project...actually not super keen about selling it. For me it's perfect...I have a small portable tent set up outside as a shower / toilet...and I don't care about the A/C and other stuff. I've heard no complaints but modern amenities for...

I've posted on WTW a few times about my Alaskan travel trailer that I converted to a travel trailer. I LOVE the conversion and it has served me well. I've been dating for the past 6 months and my new "better half" started going camping with me. I've heard no complaints but I suspect a real...

Desert Okie, Would love to see a few pics!

I had it in the bed of my Tundra at first but the frequent on / off was a pain. Now, it’s nice to go to a campground unhitch the Alaskan and use the truck normally. BTW - not knocking on the traditional Alaskan guys...after all they were built to be truck campers lol. I know I’m the odd man out...

Thanks for the healthy discussion gentlemen. For what it is worth, I've had the trailer out 2 dozen times all over the state of AZ. It pulls like an absolute dream. It's very smooth and completely stable. I've put thousands of miles on it with no issues. My truck is a 2003 Tundra with a...

I just took the trailer over to a certified weigh station and here's the data: TOTAL Gross Weight of trailer with all gear loaded (everything except food): 2,100 lbs (GVWR 2,400 lbs) Tongue weight: 220 lbs (spec is 360 lbs max) Drive axle weight: 1880 lbs (spec is 2200 lbs max) Each Maxxis...

David, You're my new best friend. I live, eat, sleep, breath, walk and talk vintage scooters. I piss people off I talk about them so much :)

Found the post on wander the west: "so, after being more than a bit worried reading all the thoughts on the weight of our camper, we took it to our local weigh scales. first we went with just the truck and returned later with the camper. turns out an unloaded (dry weight) 1968, NCO alaskan...

David, The only thing I obsess about more than vintage travel trailers is vintages Vespas. My 1962 VBB is the PERFECT camping bike! All the planets line up when I am camping in the Alaskan and riding the VBB...lol...

Huskyrunnr, I think I've seen pics of your rig...mine looks more "polished" but your definitely looks more badass! :D

John, I'm foggy on this bc it was over a year ago...so bear with me. I was also concerned about the weight of the Alaskan...and did not want to overload the utility trailer. I searched high and low on the Internet to nail down the exact weight of the Alaskan. The data was all over the...

David, I'm mostly on the vintage scooters at camp...but the truck does come in handy for a larger grocery run or other errands. Having the truck freed up is an added convenience!

More pics:

I started a similar thread about a year ago but have a bunch of new photos to share…so decided to do a fresh thread. I love the bulletproof quality and the vintage aesthetic of Alaskan truck campers but I’m a travel trailer guy…so I decided to buy a 1960’s Alaskan and convert it into a travel...

Rusty, thanks for the radio story...that's awesome. I bought the radio on eBay. I love the looks. thisoldcamper - WOW it does look like the retro version of the hi-lo. Thanks for all the great comments.

Here's a few more pics: This was just after it was mounted too the trailer. All of the black tubular railing was cut off afterwards.

So I had an awesome write up about my project in this new thread...then adobe flash did something weird and the entire lengthy write up evaporated. So here's the short version...lol. Bought a late sixties 8' NCO, mounted it to a new 6' x 8' trailer from Tractor Supply. Cut the rails off of the...

Thanks for the pic. I saw that one too...but looking for a pic of the inside of the vent assembly. There's two pipes as part of the inner assembly. Not sure what that actually looks like. Also, it looks like there's two metal disk assemblies that make up the actual vent cap cover. So frustrating...

Bought a mid-60's Alaskan 8ft NCO a month ago and been diligently working on it. Overall in fantastic condition will everything original. Bought it in bone stock condition from a local RV dealer (who bought it from the original owner). Before I bought it, someone stole the hydroflame...
