How did you seal all the edge and corner trim?

I recall a thread on here that stated only about 100 were made , I think it was a guy that did boats

I had the brilliant idea of extending the cabover on my Alaskan from a twin east/west to a Queen north/south. It's coming out nice, but a ton of time and work. Your soft sides make it a bit simpler, but I would look for another camper if in your shoes( or mine if I had a rewind button) The...

I would be all over that if it was localish

I sit in my Alaskan (unfinished) in the garage and drink a beer while day dreaming:)

I think most people are in denial or just flat out don't want to know

That is heavy, but most people are probably in the same boat. It's all the bs like tools and toys that add up, plus the options you mention like dual batteries and water heaters. I'm going to have a similar situation with my Alaskan, I have 8800# on my 2500 to play with, but by the time I get a...

Thanks for taking the time to do that. I was sweating the load a bit as I just bought many $$ worth of SS hardware for my Alaskan. My dad reminded me ( as stated above) that SS is used on aluminum boats in saltwater all the time, so I decided that I have bigger things (like making it usable ) to...

I should have stated that they don't go up for sale used too often , probably for a good reason , people hang onto them

Northstar TC 850sc has cassette toilet and shower

If you are not off-roading , get rid of the 35s , a hard sided camper makes a truck tippy enough with stock tires. I also agree about removing the lift

I need a plasma cutter to, I sold off my welding gear last year, it was overkill for what I need and took up too much room. Just picked up a Fabricator 181, neat little mig, tig, stick machine Have fun with the Hypertherm , don't get too carried away :)

I'd paint the trailer to match the camper if it were mine

What kind of screws does FWC use on the outside? I will be interested in your experiment , I was going to do the same thing, but too lazy:)

Yup, I hear you, I was pretty confused when trying to figure out if it was a problem.

The research I did, seem to imply there was a reaction between ss and Al, but unless immersed in salt water( like a boat) it will take years ( think decades ) , so I decided not to worry about it. My Alaskan that I'm building/ rebuilding has lots of ss screws thru the aluminum skin

Nice work, I have a whole two car garage and am tripping over things, you never have enough room, having a truck camper under construction in one bay doesn't help. Keep the pics coming :) I need to get a saw like that , I have a big wood band saw that I use on aluminum , and a porta band for...

I would guess the OP is tired of hearing people's opinions on what Pheonix should or could do. He has stated that he tried to get a replacement and it was not an option. He also stated that he continues to update this post as a datapoint for people researching a new camper, not as a gripe session.

How are we supposed to believe you with no pics ?

Very nice, excellent fit and finish with good color choices/ contrast
