Here's my 'hero shot', so called because I got special permission to stay at this observatory where the winds blew hard. Camp spot photo also. Up to 25 knot all night every night ( assigned spot, couldn't finagle ) which didn't phase the Alaskan.

I confess it's cheating as I had bathroom access and kitchen access if I wanted. Got permission to camp due to making a chalk mural up there. Posting the hero shots as I put my filthy chalk stuff in outisde storage, and the rig barely felt that wind - in other words she performed exactly as she was designed to do. All the wind did was cool off the cabin after hot days of an inversion layer. This site was a real score - thanks for sharing the stoke!
One more pic of the site, 'Camp Crossley' ( telescope )
Definitely up there

1993 F250 XLT w/460 V8 with original 43k miles & 1995 10' CO Alaskan Camper with Boat Lift.
Added a Curt Class 3 front hitch, folding Curt cargo basket and Better Built Aluminum locking box to carry spare propane tank, Honda EU2000 Generator & Generator fuel.
Kept me very warm in 19 degree OAT during hunting season last year.
Next project is to build carry brackets for a 14' pop-up tent alongside where the Rotopax fuel can is mounted and a back door removable awning.

happy New Year everyone,
next project update with pictures:
I built metal carry brackets to haul a Costco 13x13 pop-up tent using a pair of commercial door hinges and plate steel.
Mounted them to my camper uni-strut.
It hauls it nicely and doesn't stick out past the mirrors.
I used high density foam on the back side of the plate so not to scratch the truck body.
For the rear door awning, I struggled to find something that was easily removable and durable so I just decided to lift up the pop-up tent and hang above the door onto the boat rack.
I zip tied the tent frame to the boat rack and use window washing poles extending the rear height and voila! - instant waterproof / sunshade area where I need it the most.
At least it wasn't a blue tarp like the previous years!

Nice pictures! Thanks... I really like your Dodge's custom bed. I beginning to wish I'd done that for my Ford...

1968 Alaskan nco I acquired a couple years ago. Out of all my Alaskan's I have had this by far is the nicest original interior one I have ever got. All the appliances work on propane and I was surprised when the fridge got cold and the freezer made ice.
