That oughta go :)
I remember seeing pics of a boat my dad made back in the 60s, I think it was called a pumpkin seed, he said it screamed with just 10 hp??
Wow! I looked at the first pics of the camper and thought" this thing is never going anywhere"
What an awesome job! Definitely post lots of inside and in progress pics.
Enjoy!

Nice job! I would definitely shim the bed rails to clear the cab, I guess you would have to put a pc at the bottom of the doors
Did you use a spoolgun?
Ok thanks
Alaskans have a small hole drilled thru the piston in the raised position. Once the roof is up you put in the pin, which rests on the cylinder, taking the load off the hydraulics. Would this work on the actuators?
That control looks slick. Can you adjust individual actuator speeds? I may send mine back if you can.
I am curious what you find with insurance, I'm in the same boat. The replacement value of a new Alaskan with all the options I'm adding is over 30k, I definately don't have the time or money to...
Thanks for the reply, what control did you end up with? I bought a PA25 , but it can only control the 4 in pairs of 2. I ordered 4 22" 400# from Progressive , they said they would try and match the speeds.
Nicely done sir! Thoughtful design and very well executed. Any chance you could post pics of the new actuators? I just ordered 4 of the 22" 400# from Progressive for my Alaskan build.
Most all trucks , even 3/4 tons and up behave a lot better with airbags. I'm not familiar with your truck or trailer, but I would imagine you are going to end up with several hundred pounds of tongue weight. What's your payload?
A Mach 8 rooftop ac is around a 100#. Unless you need them while...
Looks awesome. How do the actuators seem? Think they are really good for 400#? I have a Popup hard side (Alaskan) and the roof is heavy( no clue really 500# would seem high). Even if the actuators are only good for 200# each I should be ok. Is the motor and gear box metal or plastic?
Thanks and...
My only input is that I am designing the interior of my new Alaskan lower section to include my ARB 50qt on a slide under the counter, the slide is so the fridge can be accessed if food or beer is sitting on the counter top
