I’ve seen Tigers around once in a while for several years now, been intrigued by them from the first sighting, and I might be getting to the point where they’re more than a passing fancy.
I’ve got the IH/Alaskan working as well as it’s going to be, but it’s still loud, slow, thirsty, not particularly comfortable to ride in, and is a nightmare to shift. No biggie for me (except that satanic transmission)— I can wear earplugs and put up with the rest, but it looks likely I’ll have a traveling companion next camping season, and I would like the journey to be as pleasant for her as possible (assuming she’d even ride in the IH).
What’s the low buy-in for one of these? I browsed Google results yesterday, and the one I found that was priced was at about $80K. No way I can afford that.
How’s the build quality? I’ve seen some pretty shoddily-built campers (and frankly a mid-‘80’s Alaskan is not well made) and want nothing to do with that, however cheap it may be.
What about the ownership experience in general? Does the manufacturer provide good customer service? Up until a few months ago, there was a guy at Alaskan (son of the second owner, IIRC) who would go out of his way to answer questions about your Alaskan, no matter what its age. Brian helped me with several issues, always happy to take the time. This is my reference standard for customer service.
I’d love to hear some owner impressions, or whatever info you can pass along.
