New guy here from South Carolina. Yes I know I'm not in the west, but I haven't found much on Alaskan Camper forums on the net. I picked up a, new to me, 1971 Alaskan two weeks ago. I had been looking for an inexpensive pop up truck camper for a while and this one popped up on Craigslist. It had been sitting under a oak tree for a number of years and I bought it very cheap. I'm getting it ready for a 3000 mile round trip to Canada this July.
I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.
After a meeting with the pressure washer. It started off green.
Naturally the first thing I did was try to put the top up. I found out the front stops were broken when the top popped off the tracks. That lead to finding out how extensive the rot was.
The ants were not very happy with me.
Rot replaced.
Back together and it goes up and down again.
The refrigerator actually came back to life. It's working on 120V and propane, the stove works too.
It's been a crash course on camper repair and there is still a lot of work to do, but it's a fun project.
