Wow! I love your setup. I had an 85 4Runner until just recently. I had explored the options of putting a camper on it or modding a flippac or something onto it, but deemed it a lost cause after finding zero info on it being possible.

One thing, how well does your rig take to the highways? By that I mean, I was lucky to hold 45 - 50MPH up I-70 with only about 50 pounds of gear in the back in my 4Runner...

Thanks. Well, I haven't tried it yet to be honest but I imagine it'll be quite a bit slower than that. I think I'll have to use 2nd gear, and I don't like going over 35mph in 2nd. I'm used to it though...the family camper I grew up riding around in is 22-RE powered and good chunk heavier with the class-C camper body on a dually rear axle. It's usually 2nd gear most of the way up the I-70 passes.

That's alright, it's faster than biking, and you see more than those who are flying around on the roads.

Nate--nice hardside. I don't think I've seen one that bolts on like a shell before. Looks like it has all kinds of opportunities for interior mods.

Beer is good food. Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer. Beer is the reason I get up every afternoon. Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants to see us happy. Beer is water that has reached it's full potential.

How does it work lifting the cabover Alaskan in blowing snow like your Montana shot? Do you end up with a bed full of snow?

Thanks

They do make a nice warming hut at lunch, after busting through powder all morning, don't they?

Nice combo!

.

for sure. after a day of playing in the snow it was great to crank up the heat and get a hot cup of irish coffee going. The evening of that day shown in the picture we ended up camping out there. got down to about 15 degrees, camper stayed warm though. those heaters do their job.

Snow in the Alaskan

While rain or snow getting in an Alaskan cabover while being raised or lowered is an often repeated criticism it has never been an issue for us. Maybe on the older ones with the hand operated pump but the electric pump has it up in very short order and the drop time is also very quick.

Are those lights on the back of your camper wired into your backup lights or are they more like a porch light switch in the camper?

I want to put some better lights on the back of my rig!
