    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    I thought I would add a few photos of the First attack Wheels that just arrived. They arrived on a pallet in perfect condition and I had to get them put on right away. They are wider then the Rickson's that they replaced after their 60% failure rate. The guys at the tire shop get a great...

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    I cannot not find the maker of the running boards after looking. They were purchased at Perkins Dodge in Colorado Springs if that helps.

    Looks like a good option for the future, either Fox or King.

    Nice to hear I won't have to do any more chopping when I go to change tires again later this year.

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    I've heard the same and appreciate the opinion of someone who is using them. What did you pay for the set btw? How are they off and on road versus stock shocks?

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    Thanks for the advice! I was at my local shop getting a fuel filter and front end lubrication on my truck and started thinking more about the Goodyear g275MSA tires I crawled under the truck and did some measuring, with the wider rims I will be able to squeeze the 41" tires under my truck...

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    I use the kit from US Carburetion on both my 1000 and 3500 Yamaha generators. I carry the 1000 watt one in the camper strictly to charge batteries if the solar doesn't charge my batteries. I do use the choke to start generator as well as the primer button on the propane regulator. I don't...

    Can't seem to find out anything about the g75msa's anywhere, thoughts?

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    Why not convert your Honda to propane? Would be a lot easier to carry a small propane tank, that's what I do.

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    Hello Ozymandias, You have caused quite the stir on the Expedition Portal with the picture of your camper. Looks like great work and I would like to hear more about it and the one you are planning as well. I looked closely at diesel heat and cooking, but decided in the end to go back to...

    Any issues with using a new galvanised jeep gas tank for diesel fuel?

    Great idea, maybe I'll be able to put in the 51 gallons my tank is spec'd for!

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    Glad I could entertain you for two evening, I thought it was a little long winded myself! To answer a few question that have come up: The Alaskan camper is running great with hardly any problems and is still the camper of choice over any other on the market for an expedition quality camper...

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    No big updates other than camping when work allows. I've found a new welder and working on getting another one of my wheels fixed as I have a second one developing a leak that is tough to track down. Thought about putting inner tubes in, but none of the tire places seem to like that idea...

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    Hi Oly, Thanks for enjoying the build from start to finish. You're right, the solar fans started out as a great idea. The batteries seemed to die quickly in them and they really didn't move enough air in the camper. The Fantastic fan hooked to the 12 volt system seems to do a better job...
