Congrats Chops on your new addition......

 

Too bad TOC...you dog....

My new to me 1977 Alaskan 8ft CO.  On the 2004 Dodge Ram 4x4.  On way back from purchase, stopped south of Moab for this road shot.  I don't know if interior is all original, but it has original fittings.  New DC lights, old AC lights, been rewired in past.

Nice looking Alaskan!

Nice rig, enjoy!

good find....not original upholstery but all the wood is in great shape...i like that little magazine rack at the front of the CO

Thanks for the compliments, the camper appreciates them.  I don't like the replacement upholstery, I'll look for a new alternative over time.

 

An update:  Went through camper cleaning it and discovered that the camper is a 1972.  Of course, there is some rot at the corners in the top, and some seals need replacing.  Just fired up both the heater (WORKS!) and the fridge (sorta works, still working on it). 

 

Here are interior photos with the top up.

 

 

I'll stop my posting in here.  I may start up a post on the fridge repair (Dometic RM36A) It may be of interest to some people.

my new to me 1978 mini.. I think it was a sleeper because it looks all original, bench seats both sides.. never had an ice box, sink or stove that I can see.

It's wider than it is long, 6' 1/2" length x 6' 3" width.

Here is our Alaskan we have been traveling in for the last 9 months, well over 250 nights on the road to Ushuaia, Argentina. We put a fair amount of work into it but have just really enjoyed using it hard and have really got to know her well! Here are a few of our favorite shots to the halfway point on our road trip....

now that's a camping trip!!

 

some of your photos were used in determination of shipping constraints of an Alaskan to Germany

 

I hope Manfred made it over in one piece

 

took a little stroll through your pics....a million stories I'll bet....you've got the right camper, the right partner and the right attitude...smiling after that spike must have been hard

 

My sincere congratulations on that epic voyage....EPIC indeed!!

My 93 W250 CTD with my 70’ish Alaskan 8’ CO. Been slowly redoing things on it. It’s been great for my wi&e and 1 YO too.
