Imagine that! And I just received my new ULine catalog the other day. (y)

You know, that makes perfect sense. The destroyer of these campers is. moisture. I didn't even think of that. My truck has a sprayed in bedliner direct from the factory. Thanks for the input! Dale

Well, everyone knows the saying about the "Best laid Plans", right? In the past two weeks my 3 y.o. Boykin Spaniel injested things she shouldn't have twice, in an apparently attempted suicide. Maybe not suicide, but the cost so far has been over $4K in vet bills !!! That has put a pretty big...

Thank you! I am familiar with the old Ioverlander, but when it opens up now I'm informed that I need to download the newer IOverlander 2 by the end of December. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and get the pay app. IOverlander is built into my Garmin Overlander, wonder if they will update...

I think it actually was supposed to be an ad to woo prospective owners into looking more closely at ACs. I couldn't personally imagine two guys, each with their own setups and no one else, zipping around the countryside like that. I'm guessing a brand new AC along with a new one ton truck would...

I went out yesterday to check out the camper a bit more. LOTS of interior storage! The front end is protected by a massive aluminum bullbar. The rear entrance has very usable folding steps and a folding hand rail. At my age I have to admit that I like having that handrail! The tires are...

This is a great read! Hope everyone keeps adding more tire info to it in the future.

I checked it out on the internet. one site quoted a bunch of owners with the same year, model, etc., as me and after over 500,000 miles they were getting between 14-16 mpg. I would be very happy with those kind of results. My loaded 4Runner with 4.56 gears gets 15 mpg in town and up to 18 on...

Well, I'm well past that demographic, but the rest is true. At 77 getting too old for sleeping on the ground or in RTTs. The setup Nanc and I are getting is a garage queen her entire life with only 80 k miles on the Duramax. I'm shuddering a bit thinking about fuel mileage. Diesel prices here...

Question to all of you following this; where is the best spot on Expo Portal to start an Alaskan Camper thread? I know that there aren't a lot of us. But want to be able to share experiences, problems solved, etc., with this community.

Sparse Gray Hackle, tnx for the comments. Keep firing on all eight cylinders as long as you can! Will check out your comments about the other site. I have so many questions. Presently searching the local neighborhood for a garage I can rent to keep Alki undercover when not in use. I am...

Thanks for the comments folks. Don't mean to be stealing this thread.... O.K., another pic or two from the proud papa.

Anyone still reading this thread? Too bad there isn't a specific Alaskan Camper thread here on Expo. I'm in the process of purchasing a 2015 Alaskan Camper 8 foot model mounted on a 2015 GMC Sierra SLT 3500 HD truck. It has ~80,000 miles on it and has spent it's entire life, when not on the...

What an incredible adventure! Have fun and post lots of pics!

Dang, that height differential is what I was afraid of. Raising the bed would technically be more than what I want to do. I would have to do both front and rear of the bed. That changes all the underbed storage. This would have been a nice setup otherwise for us.
