FOR SALE: Very Rare 1973 Alaskan Camper (Fiberglass) 10ft Hydraulic Popup
PRICE: $14,595
NO KNOW PROBLEMS
LOCATED: Flagstaff, AZ
Don Hall, the founder of Alaskan Campers, was the original developer of the Fiberglass version of the Alaskan Camper. Don released the fiberglass model in 1969 after three years of development. The new owner of Alaskan Campers said the fiberglass version is extremely rare and was very expensive to make at that time. They never sacrifice quality to save money or compromise on the quality of materials or workmanship. Alaskan Camper only made the fiberglass models for a few years '71, '72, and '73 and they were only produced in limited numbers alongside their more common aluminum camper model. They are much more aerodynamic than the original flat faced/flat sided aluminum version. The fiberglass model is lighter than the vintage aluminum campers with bigger windows along with three roof vents for greater ventilation. It’s estimated weight is around 1,300 - 1,400 lbs. Other interesting information was that the top half does not need to rest on the truck bed when in the down position. This makes it easier if you want to mount the camper on a flatbed trailer, not having to build a shelf to support it.
This 1973 fiberglass Alaskan Camper raises and lowers extremely easily with a hydraulic hand pump. This rare camper is in its original condition with a stainless steel sink, three burner stove, small refrigerator/freezer, clothing drawer, closet and small vanity. This Camper has a beautiful wood decal interior ceiling with high gloss finish and has held up extremely well over the years.
- Head room 6’3” ceiling for comfortable living when popped up
- 4-way views adds to the spacious interior
- Cabinets and storage space
- One full size bed or two twin beds for sleeping
- Wiring 12V and 110 V
- 3 burner stove, stainless steel sink, small refrigerator/freezer, 20-gallon water tank
We have customized and added:
- Custom Paint on outside of camper
- Custom Interior Blinds for Windows
- New Wood Floors
- Solar Panels on rooftop
- Tank Monitoring System to monitor fresh water, grey water and propane levels
- New propane heater
- Repaired hydraulic system
- Re-upholstered fabric on cushions for dinette/bed
- Repaired all lighting inside camper
Easily one of the top reasons to buy this rare 1973 fiberglass Alaskan Camper is the maneuverability of the truck camper rig is hard to beat. Many Overland rigs can’t go where we have taken this fiberglass Alaskan Camper! The compact size of the rig coupled with the small turning radius of the pickup truck means you can maneuver out of trouble much easier than with towable RVs and large motorhomes. The size and maneuverability of this combo also means you can park practically anywhere in town—no need to take up 15 parking spaces at the back of the parking lot just to go shopping or eat at a restaurant. It also means that you can park in small, national forest campgrounds and negotiate steep and narrow mountain switchbacks much easier than other types of RVs. Due to its superb maneuverability, there are few rigs we would rather be in when exploring unknown roads and new territory than the truck camper.
This Camper has made an awesome off-road expedition rig for our family at a very reasonable price compared to many Overland Expo setups. We have loved and really enjoyed this camper and we know you'll love it too!
