Here are a couple of similar examples of what we are doing:

Hi Klahanie, The Ute bed is not 8'6", but 9' according to the US dealer, with the headache rack gone it will be closer to 9' 6" and thus the camper will have some overhang. This I will live with until I get a new truck in a few years. Soon as I find an F550 Supercab with a 12-14' bed that is...

Hi Mark, I hope all is well with you, your family and the build on your home. I have asked Bryan at Alaskan to use the DC Airco as first choice and the DV Breeze as second choice. I am really hoping they can find a way to make it work as it will be just the right size for a truck camper and...

Another tip added by Joaquin Suave I wanted to share this idea with you, it a little "out of the box" so hold onto your chair... since your are having your flat bed built for you, why don't you build the flat bed so that it is aprox. 16" from the back of the cab. in the gap between the cab and...

The propane for the camper will run off a tank mounted below the deck and will look something like this: Joaquin Suave added this tip about propane tank mounting: If you are planning some 3rd world latin America travel, I'd opt for removable aluminum "forklift" tanks (plumbed for vapor) over...

Initial floor plan sent by Alaskan:

Extras just sent to Alaskan to fit on during the build: Satellite Radio Antenna Wifi Antenna I'm having Alaskan build three of these solar fans into the roof: AC is a must in hot climates, but I want it off the roof and low consumption that can run off the batteries when driving down the...

Why are we switching campers, here is the response I posted on Expedition Campers: After touring the Alaskan factory last year and viewing the Alaskan campers compared to the Hallmark I would have to say that there is a significant difference in the quality and workmanship that goes into each...

Fisher29er, not on this forum advised me to go 12 volt on the fridge and have gone with a Novacool 5.7 liter fridge/freezer with the Danfoss compressor: This is being mounted by Alaskan with extra insulation around the whole thing for greater efficiency.

Charlie, another member of this forum advised the following: If you are planning long trips, especially out of the country, I'd consider diesel powered heat/hot water, leaving propane for just the stove. My response: Thanks for the diesel advice, but after pondering and reading and many...

Haven, who is on this forum found this beauty: I have this flatbed coming from the US dealer at an awesome price and should be here next week. The bed is sans the side rails and headache rack. Thanks Haven!

Hi folks, I'm a refugee from the Expedition Camper forum who has been forcibly transferred over to this forum...Just joking! I had a thread going on over there that was about the build up of my new camper. I will bring over pertinent parts of the thread to bring you up to date and look forward...

Great setup! What kind of GPS antenna are you using?

Awesome build up! But where are the old expedition forum write ups?

Have you considered a propane conversion? I run a Yamaha on propane and it works great and runs off the camper propane. I'm purchasing a 1000 watt soon, smaller and lighter than the 3000, but will convert to propane as well. Check out US Carburetion at www.propane-generators.com
