We just returned from Benton with a 500 mile round trip at 12.6mpg. I've seen 14mpg when I stay at 65mph or less.

Well just before Thanksgiving I found an Alaskan in Arizona. It was a 2020, 8.5’ and the owner said it had every option that Alaskan offered. I asked how much it weighed and the owner sent me a photo of the ID plate and it listed the weight at 2021 pounds. My truck payload is 1990. I am planning to get a truck with more payload but thought I could haul it home with my existing truck. I thought Alaskan weighed campers and had no idea that the weight listed on the ID plate was not even close. Lucky for me the owner didn’t want to wait for me to drive out to Arizona. I was disappointed but as I learned more about camper weights I was glad the sale fell through. I’ve ordered a Hallmark Guanella and now have a truck with a 2700 pound payload and an 8’ bed. I’ll be fine although everyone thinks I need a one ton truck.
