Man I miss my PW so much. Looks so awesome with the Alaskan!! Interested to see how it handles with all that weight. Ours was our tow vehicle for our 6000lb camper, even with airbags it was very floaty on 37s.

It definitely handles well. I havent taken it offroad much yet but on the highway its just fine. You certainly notice an extra 2500lbs in the bed but it still drives with 1 finger on the wheel at 80mph. Much less top heavy and affected by wind than my previous UJoint converted Thor 19G haha. Ive been playing with airbag pressure a little and currently have settled at 70psi when not fully loaded and wet for a trip and 100psi when fully loaded/wet/full of people and dog on a trip. Ive also been monitoring tire pressure very closely. These 40s are load range C2 and load index 121 so thats max of 3297 at 35psi cold. I set them there and then at 80mph with ~70 degree ambient temps they heated up to about 45psi and stayed there for the extent of the trip from SD to Phoenix.

Makes me miss my PW. Love the build, keep up the good work!

It’s so much nicer than really any other pop-up camper on the market, regardless of price.

Hmmm. I was in a brand new Alaskan 650 in September. While they are fantastic rigs, I think Hallmark make as good. Likely where I would go. Not with the hard sides like an Alaskan, which is a compromise, but quite a bit lighter too.

I’d love to get my paws on either one of those, but I have a Canadian registered trailer to trade in on my next pop-up camper, and neither Hallmark nor Alaskan are able to take the trade. There are set in stone reasons for needing to offload the trailer to a dealer (tax related) that it’s not practical to work around. Bit of a bummer, but at least whatever I buy will be mounted in a Power Wagon too!

You have a great looking rig!
