2019 Alaskan Camper 8' flatbed model on a 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4x4 diesel crew cab short box with custom spring-mounted flatbed.

Health issue forces sale. This truck/camper combo is awesome, but it needs a new home.

The camper:

2019 Alaskan Camper. This is an 8' flatbed rear entry model.

Hard-sided popup camper system
Tons of interior cabinet and storage space
3-burner propane stove/oven combo w/5 gallon propane tank (extra tank included)
Dometic absorption refrigerator
400 amp hours of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries; we've camped for weeks at a time and still had battery life
50 amp Renogy DC/DC charger, wired into truck alternator w/Bluetooth monitoring; charges the camper batteries while the truck is driving
MPPT solar charge capabilities via a 220 amp "deployable" solar panel
2000 watt Renogy pure sine inverter, with numerous 120V outlets for appliance use (will run large household appliances as needed)
LED lights throughout; very minimal power consumption
Numerous 12V outlets throughout camper for electrical device charging duties
Thetford cassette toilet
27 gallon fresh water tank inside, 7.5 gallon fresh water tank outside
Switched 12V water pump to sink with extendable shower head--no water heater
Diesel forced air heating system with thermostat; fueled by main truck diesel tank (very economical on fuel and power)
Removeable Lagun table, interior seating for four close friends/family
Sleeps two in the cabover, one in the convertible dinette, and possibly two on the bench seats inside the truck cab
Large 270* "batwing" awning mounted to the rear of the camper; provides large covered area on back and passenger side of camper
No roof vents--camper owners know the roof vents are the first think to leak in a camper; deployable 12V fan in the driver side camper window provides amazing ventilation
Low profile allows for truck/camper to fit inside some residential garages

The truck:

2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4x4 crew cab short box with custom-fabricated flatbed
6.6 liter V8 Duramax diesel engine; last of the truly "no emissions" modern diesels; mild tune from PPE, truck gets 15mpg at highway speeds with the camper and a full load of people/gear
Allison 1000 automatic transmission
Currently has 217,000 miles, but going up as the truck is driven regularly
All new injectors 10,000 miles ago
Fresh oil change last month
New Interstate batteries from Costco last month
New 295/75r16 Toyo ATIII tires this year; tires maybe have 1000 miles on them
Seating for six, power locks/windows, keyless entry, AC and cruise, backup camera, rubberized floor
Front bumper has a winch and a hitch receiver; I carry a Husqvarna 501 on the front of the truck
Custom-fabricated flatbed designed specifically for the 2019 Alaskan Camper
Bed is hard-mounted in the front, spring mounted in the middle and on a pivot mount in the rear--this allows for the truck frame to flex in off-camber situations without transferring the flex to the camper
Carries 10 gallons of extra diesel on the driver's side; 5 gallons of dirt bike or generator gas and 7.5 gallons of fresh water on the passenger side
Rear hitch is extended and tied into the flatbed; I carry two TTR230s on the rear of the truck
Rear axle has adjustable airbags which are plumbed into a high-capacity onboard air compressor which allows the camper to be leveled when deployed; air compressor also allows for tire inflation as needed
Folding aluminum steps allow access to the camper

I am sure I've forgotten something. Hit me up with questions/comments. Priced at $58,500 OBO, located near Seattle, WA. Truck is registered and titled in Montana; title in-hand on the truck. Montana does not have titles for campers, so we'll issue a bill of sale for that which should suffice if you need it. More/better pictures on the Craigslist ad: https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/rvs/d/bonney-lake-mini-expedition-truck/7624803955.html

To build this camper today with all of the electronics upgrades would be upwards of $50,000, and I valued the truck with the custom flatbed and all of the recent work/maintenance at around $18,000. So, save yourself $10,000 and buy this ready-to-go setup today!
