foleysF8,

 

is that a 8' or 10'er?  how about some inside pics? i can't believe i waited so long in my life to consider using a camper.we have done it all-- tent, tent trailer, trailer, 5th wheel,but when we got our alaskan, we found the one. its easy to go, easy to camp, and dry and comfortable.someday, i'd like to afford a new one, until then ,my '75 will do great (my '64 10' nco was great as well) for my wife and i. we only do a few days at a time, but have done a week all at once in it. i'm not as adventurous as some of the folks on here ,going off road and off grid, but the alaskan makes me feel a little adventurous. the other thing i love is the looks we get and the conversations that it draws. i have grown a sense of pride as an alaskan owner. i hear it in others on this site as well. hopefully, you're as happy with yours as we are.

Hey Wes,

 

I have an 8'. I leave next week for 7 months on the road. This will be my 7th year living in a camper all summer. I shoot some pictures today. The previous owner has done a lot to the interior and has preserved the original 64' charm on the outside.

Heres a picture of my old 8' CO I bought and fixed up.

nice looking co. hope you still have that for the 7 month stay. it is nice to have both and be "alaskan rich". we were for a short while, but after using the co, we never wanted to go back to using the nco.i ended up selling it cheap to a friend .he's very happy with it. i couldn't imagine a seven month stay....wow! good luck on your trip.
