Well things are still coming along slowly on the camper. The pair of Energy One batteries are ordered and on their way to Alaskan along with two 85 watt solar panels and a digital voltage regulator from www.rvsolarelectric.com Because of another delay in getting the camper complete I have...

Awesome setup! have you considered a tilt on the camper for engine access, an Alaskan on a Fuso out there somewhere has this set up.

Our Black Airedale pup watching all that goes on in the camper

On the way back from our last vacation with a roof full of rot and pieces trying to fall off. It's not duct tape, but Gorilla tape that I like a lot more for this type of application. BTW, it's still in place since September... I hope my new camper shows up soon.

I just tapped a keg or Hazed and Infused from Boulder Brewing, not bad. The last keg was Arrogant Bastard from Stone Brewing, now that was some good stuff. Storm King Stout form Victory, tasty to the last drop.. The best beers I've ever had though are the ones I brew myself and say wow, this is...

I agree! If you really want a vehicle and are willing to work hard and save and perhaps forgo a few pleasures, you can have it. I looked at the ER, but it is so darn tall among other things.

I just talked to Alaskan Campers again this am and things are coming along slowly. I was considering getting four 6-volt Lifeline AGM's, but have changed my mind after the following was bought to my attention by Alaskan: Two of these NSB210FT Energy1 batteries would hold 420 amp hours at a...

Thats sound like a very expensive proposition for a windshield. In Colorado, I have had to replace a windshield on my Ford truck and past Eurovans every year for many years. I use a device called a Hotshot that heats and shoots 150 F water on my windshield that works great for clearing...

I've got my coupon and a spare and will be heading to the local Checker tomorrow to pick up a pair of these that seem to be in stock. I wish I had found this coupon last week as I just bought a pair of yellow Optimas for my truck...

Alaskan campers stated that the roof will accommodate an additional 500 lbs. The ac will be off the roof, but food in the cabinets will probably take care of that weight savings. Our kayak and bike should not add more than an additonal 200 lbs including all the rack stuff and this weight...

Gallon for gallon is about the same draw as gasoline, though propane burns much cleaner and I'm told that it will make a generator run literally forever if you do your maintenance. I've taken a 7.5 gallon tank for the generator and barbecue for two weeks and had no problem keeping batteries...

I have a mild 2" spring lift on the front of my F350 for the main reason that it takes the rake out of the vehicle. Before this, the camper was always tilted to the front on level ground and had to be corrected with the camper jacks. Now I am level and 305-75-16's Nitto's fit w/o ever touching.

Try http://www.touratech-usa.com I got a great set of Baja maps that are Garmin compatible.

Latest pictures sent today from the Alaskan factory: Driver's side kitchen cabinets. Faucet will be changed to a pull out spigot that can be used for other applications, eg. washing hair in a pinch. Overhead view of passenger side with compressor fridge built in with extra insulation. Also...

I have the Yakima track (2 sets) on my current camper and am putting the same on my camper being built, They are stout, check them out.

I use two of the CF-72 Toughbooks with great results. Go to this site for tips on how to upgrade: http://toughbook.wikispaces.com/ It's a great source of info for drivers and minor repairs. I used it to boost my ram and do some minor stuff. One nice thing about Panasonic, they actually...

Very nice, too bad I'm already building.

I just talked to Alaskan Campers yesterday and we are now looking at mid January as a final date. Oh well, I didn't really want it for Xmas...

You're right! Looks stout and would hold my Toughbook nicely, but how would you mount it?

Welcome back Adam and welcome to the Expedition Forum where we have both been sent from the Expedition Camper Forum. Sounds like an awesome trip and glad to see both you and your father made it back safely. It's kind of a coincidence, but I'm reading "99 Days to Panama" this week and it is...
