Also check the plug on the camper. Back then the female outlet was wired backwards not the standard lay out on most light receiver plugs. Also I have check for corrosion at the bulb connections and in the housing.
Great idea on the positive pressure pushing air out. Your son is correct, you reminded me we tried that at times and it does work ok but there sure was a pile up of critters at the fan screen entrance. All in all just have to deal with them and it is worth it to be "way up north"
Same here not a problem during storms or wind. You might wipe the mattress down very little when there is some side ways hard rain or snow. But we have been in a bunch of weather and not bad at all. You will be wetter getting out of the truck more than the inside of the camper. We timed our...
Hello Herbie,
Not sure, if you are interested in looking at a side door entry. It may solve the 3 - 4 person seating and sleeping and crawl over and more. Our 3rd person was our dog and he sometimes would go under our feet, sleeping while we were either working or eating. Plenty of room and...
For our 2016 AK camper (7' long x 7' wide flat bed with a cab over) the travel lock was installed at the factory. It is a 3/8" bolt about 4 inches long, going through the cab over and the base. I installed a keeper pin for the nut vibrated off couple times on some long dirt roads and I lost...
I could throw in the two 40# struts pictured. They are in excellent condition also and do help push up your pop up camper. They came off a FWC Grandby.
Four Excellent Rieco Titan Jacks-Mechanical $600.
Like brand new. I used the jacks only 2 times and I am selling them because I have set up a different system to remove my Alaskan camper off and on my truck.
I purchased these directly from Rieco...
I found this link on the XPCamper facebook site. If anyone out there is still interested, it looks like Be Change LLC purchased the company and still wants to build XP campers and trays.

Thank you and fun adventure for all you wanderers.
I received a request to post the link of photos from our trip. An easier way for folks to (like my mom) that don't want an Instagram acct.

Yes the word is comfy for our Chevy. The Ford 350 was a fine capable truck mechanically and had 300 more pounds for payload. I don't like driving over the total allowable GVW, thus the reason for going 3500. The Ford was an extended cab and 8 inches shorter wheelbase, which was nice for...
Thanks for sharing our overland voyage! @walkerab0ut
We are back in Flagstaff. Cut a wee bit short, but all is great when you have no expectations and the time to work and wander.
The trip to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT was a pleasure in so many ways.
75 days and 10,500 miles. We had an unbelievable...
PS. I sold the 2016 Ford 350. All was fine with the Ford for the AK camper, but we decided to go for a bit more room, for camera gear and dog and a smoother ride since we will be on 1000's of miles of dirt roads, including the road into our off grid cabin when we return. The 3500 crew cab...
Hi folks, we are working and playing our way from Flagstaff, Arizona, to the Arctic Ocean at Tuktoyatuk in our Alaskan flatbed Camper. The first Alaskan flatbed built and the last tray XP Camper built. Follow along on Instagram at walkerab0ut ... the 0 is a zero.

Ready for a snow plow or any style camper and great Overlander or work truck. Wheel base 142". I had my fully loaded camper on this truck driving on windy highways to primitive dirt roads and the vehicle handles great with 2400 pounds of payload.

AK campers is bringing the second flatbed ever made by AK to the Overland Expo in Flagstaff. It will be a 8 1/2 ft long on his truck. Mine is 7 ft. His flatbed was made by Protech a great aluminum company for boxes and beds. I couldn't afford one so we made our own here with steel but it was...

Yes I can remove the camper. I take the jacks( rieco titan) off when travelling. They are out of the way for rougher dirt roads, hitting rocks and ditches and smoother driving. I feel it creates less drag and weight, and maybe equals better gas mileage. The camper is bolted down through the...
