Alaskan electric hydraulic pump

[ripperj]

I was hoping someone could take a picture , preferable one that shows the nameplate of the electric hydraulic pump in their Alaskan. I am converting to the larger cylinders and may go electric.
I posted this on WTW too.

Thanks

Mine is parked in storage I'll try to get to it this weekend and get a picture. You will need a lot larger reservoir for the larger cylinders.

That would be great, if you could grab a pic of the lowering valve and piping too I would appreciate it.

The photos show the lowering valve and the pump and reservoir. This was supposed to have been retrofitted by Alaskan Campers. THe reservoir is a lot smaller than the ones I have seen on the newer Alaskans. Sorry for the cell phone pictures and I couldn't get any numbers off the pump. This is in the lowest cabinent under the sink

Thanks, I will have to give Alaskan a call to find out the pump size. I was hoping there would be a model number.

I think mine is 1989 and has a much different reservoir the valves are not in a Y hose but one atop the other at the manifold. Looks like I'll be replacing mine, and may even reposition the switch and valves to the rear compartment. And am seriously thinking of replacing it with a manual pump......less to go wrong, eh. I see no thread on just replacing the pump, a good one on replacing o rings, I'll start a fresh thread.

Brian at alaskan has always been a great source of helpful info for me he'll get you set up I'm sure.

The Alaskan pump is crazy expensive, $650??. If you smelled bring wires I doubt it's just a fuse. You can get other pumps much cheaper, but they are heavy.
PM me if you want my manual pump cheap. I think you would need to make a additional reservoir if you have the bigger cylinders.
