I purchased mine on Craig's List for $250 and put about $800 into repairing and upgrading it. Good luck, and I hope you will think about replacing it with another Alaskan.

While you're on the Alaskan site take a look at the new ones...they have all the bells and whistles....electric jacks, running water, outside showers, solar systems....
all the stuff we end up with....after years of modifications
Best of luck.....boy...it's been a while since I visited

I've been thinking of finding a welder to extend lip another 3 inches or so, come to think of it, I could maybe use a 2 X 12 or 2
Sorry your forced to sell
So later I was thinking about my 2 X 12, great idea to get it above my truck, but what the heck was I thinking; how the heck would I lower it

I built two saw horses just an inch or so taller than my box height. Now I lift the back of my 10’ and place a horse under the back lower until it takes the weight, lift the front and drive almost all the way out place the other horse close to then front and drive away. I think this could be done with an 8’ just about as easy. It would require one more step to get the back out enough to take the weight on the first horse then its easy.
The only draw back is that it sits quite high in my driveway, but it works for me.
My Alaskan is in my shop getting much need work done I took it down to my local garage and had them lift it off the truck with a car hoist then put it on my utility trailer.
I will follow up with pictures of the rebuild as soon as I get closer to being finished.
There is always a way.
