    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Winterizing an Alaskan?

    No not at all, I think the 8' is only an advantage with the long bed, you can close the tailgate.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Truck for the 6.5 foot cab over

    I recently purchased an new Alaskan 8.5 cabover on a 2105 f-350 crewcab 6.5 foot bed with the tailgate down. I think this represents the best compromise between wheelbase, cab and camper space.I went with the diesel and have plenty of power and payload. Cheers
