Selling the lifestyle to sell the camper😊

Alaskan makes a very comfortable camper.

Thanks for sharing.

Well I guess we know who their marketing demographic is. Campers for middle age+ men. See the world from the comfort of your drivers seat before you die. LOL

Not many young adults can swing $40-50k for the camper and probably more than that for the truck, so you probably are not too far off. Plenty of middle age men and women spend the day hiking and then like to climb into a comfortable bed in the evening, so the “from the comfort of your drivers seat “ might be a miss

Looks like Alaskan Campers is having a little rebranding? New ownership maybe?

Cool video. I honestly had no idea they still made campers. The only ones I ever see are 20+ years old.

Great video, with some stunning camping locations!







But what's most interesting to me, in my endless internal debate of truck vs. van, is the view while camping out the kitchen window and narrow door:

Those campers new are going to be more than $40-$50k, their demo unit is advertised at nearly $66k. 😳

I guess I’m a few years out of date

Yes. Was a mostly a jokey comment. I didn't watch the whole video but didn't see any hiking. Maybe was at the end. He he.

If you are half considering an Alaskan, it'd be well worth you while to check one out in person. They're a neat, compact, unique camper with a proven track record.

Those side windows are large (42, 46" ?) and give a great view. And the front dinette seats are famously comfy to enjoy the open feel of the interior camper space.

That'll be a great resource for owners.

I agree about Bryan , he helped me out a lot when my son spend a few years of winters essentially building one from scratch.

If I were to purchase an Alaskan Camper, one prerequisite would be to have fully enclosed storage for it, and keep the camper there any time it was not in use. Weather is the bane of all campers, and with the significant amount of wood in the Alaskan, it may be more susceptible to damage when stored outside.

Alaskan Manpers, campers for Men !

Yeah, you got that right.
