They are electric linear actuators and are not affected by temps, they are very nice and fast. I camped at 5 degrees and had no issues at all.
The manual override is via an allen wrench on each actuator. It would take a bit to do as you would have to do it on all 4 and lower them slowly, but...
Update: We've been receiving a ton of interest in just the camper (lots of people already own trucks) so we are willing to sell them separately. We would like to keep them together but are open to separating. Message me if you are interested!
Thanks
Thanks! It's super easy, it's made by 23 Zero and it's the 180 degree awning. Here is a picture of it from their site. Supertramp was smart and put an attachment point just above the passenger seat under the cab over and then one more on the passenger rear actuator. It's 6' all folded up and 14'...
Sorry, I forgot to put it in the list of items, but yes, there is a two-burner Dometic glass-top propane stove. I'll get some interior photos added soon, but our camper is pretty much the same as the ones on Supertramp's website.
Yeah, it's a pretty unique color. Depending on the light it looks black, in the sun it's a deep maroon, sometimes a little brown and purple. Worth a quick google, it's hard to capture the depth of the color in pictures.

Hello everyone,
We have made the tough decision to sell our setup. We're just not able to use it as much as we thought we would... darn work. Here's our listing for it:

Hello!
We’ve decided to sell our dream setup, our jobs just don’t allow us to take the trips we were planning and use this the way we intended to. This is a true 4-season expedition style rig that can comfortably sleep 4 adults and (safely!) transport...
We haven't done much more to the camper, it's in pretty good shape. Since our last update, I think the three big things are:
1) I decided to buy aluminum strips and attach them around the camper where the Pirelli flap rubs when the camper is down. It was rubbing through the white paint and I...
A quick upgrade to our camper, Bryan from Alaskan sent me another guide to install next to our door. It really pulled in the side of the camper and holds it all nice and tight, it was a really nice upgrade and overall pretty quick and easy.
Overall, it seems to be holding up well. There have been a few fixable problems with (propane/plumbing). There are a couple small stress fractures in the laminate that I'm not super excited about but Bryan said it's not a structural concern, it's just the laminate, not the actual wood behind it...
Thanks for those tips, I'll look into both of those. I haven't heard of Hypervent so glad you mentioned it. Fortunately, we don't have any problems with condensation under our bed. Not saying we won't/can't though, but living in CO is helpful since the air is dry.
Thanks for all of that and the pictures. I'll definitely look into reinforcing certain areas within our camper. And yes, OEM anything doesn't mean it can handle what we put them through. I'm sure if they all just stick to pavement, it would be totally fine for a very long time!
Thanks for the...
Thanks for the pointer, I know it's not a great insulator (only being like 1/4" thick it can only do so much). We were hoping it would "reflect" the cold down and not let it pass through to the mattress as easily. I'm not sure how other truck campers are, but since the Alaskan is a hard-sided...
Thanks, it's definitely taking time to dial in but I think each upgrade is making a big difference. Good point on the slide on, I haven't thought about how the walls also "keep it in" even though if the turn buckles broke, I'm sure it would just slide out. But it is comforting on a slide-in...
I think the rear shocks by far made the largest difference. We had the front installed a couple of days before putting the rears on and it was very noticeable once the rears went on. When we had the van, we were told the rears were the biggest bang for the buck so we did it there as well and it...
