Yesterday I finally loaded my '63 Alaskan 8' NCO onto my '63 Ford F250. (When I get the wanderthewest pic upload functionality to work again I'll post pics of the mated pair.)
Something that came out of yesterday's endeavor - beyond the incredibly close tolerances when loading - was a distinct lack of sight during the test drive with the Alaskan on the bed; both sides and rear views. This brings me to my questions for all of you seasoned Alaskan owners/campers out there...
1. Assuming you're using tow mirrors, which are most correct for both brand and time?
2. Wrt rear cameras, what is the best in class for a rig like mine? Did you go bumper mount? Top mount? both? Backup only? Driving heads-up display? (Yup... lots of Qs and options)
3. Understanding that the latter isn't anywhere near time-period specific, did you do anything to mask the camera(s) and/or screens so that they're not as obvious?
Thx in advance for your inisights/responses.
