custom home built Alaskan bear proof Expedition Camper

[land travaler]

howdy! new hear thought i would share a expedition camper that me and some friends have been building for a while for a trip to Alaska made out of steel and rhino lined and will hold 4. It will be used on a another truck other than the one in the pic that is lifted on 37 inch tires and this truck fully self sufficient.

That thing looks solid! You said it will take four: Even if there's room for three in the cab, that leaves one person without a seat. Or is it allowed to ride in the camper in the US?

That is a nice looking camper.

Why did you make it a slide in camper? Just my $.02 but that is a huge waste of critical space down low. At the very least I would have made it for a flatbed. I have had slide in campers and I will never have one again. They are very inefficient for storing things.

the truck we will be using is a extended cab and is fully furnished with auxilery gas electric generator,under frame mounted propan set up

the camper is universal we have a custom trailer just for the camper and it can be pulled by the truck as well it just depends on where we go and if we need to haul a extra trailer or not.the camper also has a mass amount of room for storage there is no hole left unused inside the camper i will have pics of the inside soon.

[land travaler]

it weighs in at about 1800 lb its a litle lighter than a comparable sized camper

Dude, that's a bit of overkill but glad to hear your coming up here. Nice camper by the way, but 10's of thousands of people every year manage to survive bears while sleeping in tents. Bears are wild animals and as such generally avoid humans, we have plenty of bear attacks every year but your odds of dying are still much higher on the highway than getting mauled by a bear.

No worries though, hope you enjoy the trip up here and let me be the first to welcome you!

didnt just build it for the bears. It was built to withstand the test of time plus it was a lot cheaper than buying a $20,000.00 camper so just built what we wanted and its nice inside and out but i do admit its a little overkill but thats the way we do things and thanks for the welcome will be sure to enjoy the trip there.
