I am interested in knowing the "real world" weight of your Alaskan rig. Please state the total weight of your loaded Alaskan camper and truck, which includes full fuel tank, food, water, propane, tools, food, etc.

In the listing, please include the model, length and year of your
Alaskan, as well as the model of your truck.

Thank you.
 
The weight listed on the camper is the weight without any options or gear.

Total weight is different for everybody. Go to a scale and get a weight.

Water weight is 8 lbs per gallon.

I have to put my truck on a diet because of gear and battery bank.
 
1988 F-250 Lariat extended cab, 8' bed 4x4, 460 cu in, weighed in at 6,400 lbs with the camper shell on which approximates my missing passenger and all the stuff I carry in the rear seating area.

My December 1976 8' CO has a factory sticker from Alaskan in Sun Valley, CA that says 1450lbs s fitted out:

R.D. Hall 12-76 Weight Tag 8 Ft. CO #2903.jpg

I figure add another 250 lbs of food, gear and other stuff...

Add 'em up and it gets to about 7,900 lbs +/- the weight of that "stuff" I carry.
 
Just weighed my 2015 F350, 4x4, shortbed ,crew cab, diesel with a 2018 Alaskan 8.5 ext. CO, A/C, water heater, awning, steps. The truck weighs 8000 lbs with fuel and no people. The total weight with the camper is 10600 lbs. with no people, food or clothes and 1/2 a tank of water.

Wow. You're very close to the GVWR of that 1-ton. I'm guessing you have a 10800 or 11400 GVWR.
