Newer alaskan camper wanted

[MT6bt]

Greetings,

I am on the hunt to purchase a newish(2000-2010) 10' CO alaskan camper.
I wish I could be more specific than that, but unfortunately these TCs are very hard to come by!
Donations of an earthroamer, MAN expedition rig, or other similarly ostentatious vehicle would be acceptable as well. Not for me, but rather for this Lil guy:

Bump. Hopefully something will come up because winter is fast approaching.

I hope that the little fella finds one!

Someone here has a 1970s Alaskan camper.

Good luck with this. I've not been seriously shopping for an Alaskan, but occasionally I get an itch and poke around to see what's available for sale. I've only ever found very used (read: beat) Alaskans, or inexplicably brand-new ones that the owners are selling due to change of heart or situation, and are asking basically-new pricing to get their investment back. For some reason, there seems to be a real dearth of lightly used 3-10 year old models.

Thanks! Yes, it's going to take some time...hopefully something will come up. Found a 2002 10' CO alcan bur it's over 1500 miles away. Quite a long distance to check out a camper based on a hunch. I do like the alcan, but can't figure out what makes it different from the normal 10'. Ideally, a flatbed camper would be ideal, much like Carl Isner's alaskan on the back of his 04' Ford. Wish I could just afford a new one, so I don't have to search over the entire country!

Don't give up, I found an 02 8'CO, on the Helena craigslist, I called and got the first shot at it an hour after it was posted. It was actually in Great Falls and turned out to be an '04. Somehow the WTW Craigslist compiler missed it, luckily I was doing a search every morning. Brought it home yesterday.

Yep...I've been searching all across the country and the one day I don't check 3 freaking times a day, the deal of the decade comes along only 100 miles from me. FML.

And yes....it was this one.

I knew you were looking and hoped I would beat you to this one! I'm just west of Missoula, did you see the one WTW posted in Bozeman, it's older but I don't know what year.

Yes, it's a 1980 and I saw the guy driving around town with the top up...not a good sign It's too old for me. I'm looking for a newish one that has all the updates such as bigger hydraulics, spray in insulation, etc.
I'm really bummed I didn't get that camper. I'm not looking for a 8' since I have too much dog and I am full time camping (I can't Stand rent and am saving up for an education), so I probably would've sold it as soon as I found the right 10' one I'm looking for. hopefully soon due to my ....humble living situation.
I estimate that camper is probably worth 12-15,000 easy based on what I've seen in the alaskan camper market. One hell of a deal, must've been a pretty foolish person to get rid of a camper that nice for so cheap. Especially since the ad said "willing to negotiate"

No kidding. I saw that Helena listing a few hours too late and never got a response. Good catch, Mike. I'd be happy for you if I wasn't so jealous.

It's getting cold....bump.
