I just wanted to say that the past few years on this forum have been great. I've made some wonderful new friends, met up in person with a number of y'all, and have never had a bad interaction here. 

 

I love my FWC Fleet and y'all and this community have been a huge part of that enjoyment.

 

I even got a new nickname here! Yay!  :D

When we had our first mid-60s Alaskan NCO I didn't even know what a Pirelli seal was, let alone that you could actually CHANGE it! Tips like putting a small wedge under the outside edges of the rear lower section to overcome the cracks in the corner of the angle iron rear floor bracket so the lower rear door would latch again. We just shoved a rolled up old beach towel into the gap where the Pirelli seal had deteriorated to seal against the cold air at night.

 

I can't wait to try to lower the top as I believe the splay in the bottom caused enough friction at least on the left rear corner to cause the top to bind at the rear and require some tugging to get it to come down in sync with the front two pistons. Closing that gap a bit should help with that.

 

I didn't know Alaskan was still in business back then, now I have gotten a couple of questions answered by Brian and have begun to install new Pirelli seals on the camper and have replaced one tube/piston that was leaking hydraulic fluid and filled the reservoir.

 

Reading all the threads here about not only the Alaskan campers, but the ATC and FWC threads gives me a ton of suggestions on outfitting, places to go, things to do and even menu selections out in the boondocks!

 

I especially like the atmosphere of those who are inclined to be good campers...meaning hauling out even your own human waste if need be and those who "take only pictures and leave only footprints"...aside from some campfire ashes perhaps!

 

It's a nice place with no bullies and seems like we all just want to have a good camping experience out where the USA is the most wonderful and beautiful places to visit! I knew last year when I began to look for an Alaskan 8 Ft. CO and found this site I had landed in a special environment. Bless all you guys and gals who make it comfortable and welcome to like-minded campers!

 

Thank you guys for having me!
