Nice, but $400 for a flashlight? Out of my league of overpriced toys..

We have the same style window arrangement in our current hallmark and will have the same in our Alaskan. I asked if it could be larger, but the answer was no due to structural integrity. We have the donut foam cushion along with a round tube with stiffening on each end. Between the two the...

Welcome to the forum Jason!

Ricksons are awesome, but I don't think they will let you float through the snow or anything for that matter. I've been able to cruise through deeper snow with 4x4 and chains on all four w/o any difficulty. Try driving carefully, air down your tires and carrying more weight in the rear and you...

We use an evaporative cooler to cool our entire home. In southern Colorado this is standard on the houses here and for us works much better than an ac in our dry climate. Right now it's not an issue with the outside temp at 6 F. If I traveled only in dry climates, I would definitely be using a...

I don't know what the formula is for btu's of cooling versus cubic feet, but I'm sure it's out there. It's also greatly affected by the amount of insulation in a camper and that is where the Alaskan will exceed. Between double paned windows with double layer shades, extra insulation, etc it...

It sounds like I should wait a few months before I make the drive.

I do have to say I would look good in the non Logan's Run model. That door in the cab on the driver's side would drive me nuts though.

More pictures of the build at the Alaskan factory: The round chrome piece on top is one of the self contained solar vents, one over the stove, one over the Thetford toilet and one over the overhead sleeping area. More can go in, but I want to see how they compare to a Fantastic fan before...

Welcome egn, and I look forward to hearing more about your awesome camper build.

Check out this beast that was on the Vermont Unimog: Cruise speed of 135 km and recent overhaul. What a camper it would make if only the wife saw my vision as clearly as I do...

I decided not to go the DC Airco route for a number of reasons: 1. The unit is 9000 btu and a little larger than we need for a well insulated camper of this size. 2. The amp draw would be excessive on the battery bank and could not run off a 1000 watt generator. 3. Alaskan had serious...

Awesome build Ron and I would enjoy coming up to Denver to see your burb some time. That rear bumper has given me some ideas for my Ford.

One of the concerns that I have had since the inception of this project is how to have an ac unit that was not only off the roof, but of low enough amperage that it could be run off the Outback inverter/charger and the battery bank, and also be able to run while going down the road to keep the...

I would be interested in hearing real life feed back as well.

Hmm, interesting discussion. For a choice of weapons I would probably carry my Bushmaster carbon fiber .223 with 4x for for survival. At 4 lbs, it won't tear up the meat too much and has enough stopping power for a deer if shots are well placed. For home security my Benelli Super 90 12 gauge...

Wow! I would never drink or shoot with them again. Darwinian theory catches up with people like that in the end and us bro's in the ER are there to save their sorry souls...

You could sure put a long Alaskan on that beast...

The under deck boxes and 16.2 gallon propane tank arrived this week:
