60s era Alaskan Camper Question

[rgs]

Hello,
Does Anyone know the bed dimensions of a 1969 era 8ft non-cabover Alaskan Camper?

I am looking at an internet deal on one, but need to know if I can even sleep in it at 6'2" tall before I make the drive to check it out...

Thanks

Ryan

I had a early '70s vintage Alaskan, too. I'm 6'2" and I felt the bunk was tight when shared with my wife. Alone, I was comfortable. Ours was a non-cabover.

Thanks guys, that info helps a ton, it looks like its worth checking out for me, it has a little water damage around the windows, and front wall, but nothing like some of the pics I have seen on here...and the price is right, although it will take some work of course!

Thanks for the info, It turns out it is a 1971, and after looking at it in person I fell in love (dont tell my wife) so I brought it home. It has some minor rot issues around the base of the top part that raises up, but the base is excellent and the hydraulics, stove, and electrical all work good. It is mostly stock, and even had the original paperwork with it...

I wasted no time tearing into it, pics to follow maybe in a new thread...

I think I will look into upgrading the electrical to 12v LED lights/vent with a solar charging/battery system...

Now if I could just find an expedition (and car seat worthy) diesel truck to put it on I will be set...(for now my toyota t-100 with air bags will have to do)

Thanks
