What type and size of truck is recommended for an Alaskan Camper?
We recommend a 3/4 ton or larger truck for an Alaskan camper. Truck classifications like half-ton, 3/4-ton, and 1-ton refer to payload capacities.
For example, in Ford’s lineup, the F-150 is classified as a half-ton, the F-250 Super Duty as a 3/4-ton, and the F-350 Super Duty as a 1-ton. These heavier classes, especially the 3/4-ton and above, provide optimal performance for hauling an Alaskan camper.
Can I tow a boat or small trailer behind my Alaskan?
Yes! That’s the great thing about an Alaskan truck camper, you can tow your boat, a trailer, or any of your camping toys. Whatever you normally would tow is still a possibility.
How heavy is a typical Alaskan Camper?
Loaded (or wet) weight can range based on the length of the camper—from roughly 1,500 lbs for a 6.5’ to 2,500 lbs for the 10’ model.
Where can I locate my truck's payload capacity?
You can find the payload capacity on the placard located on the driver’s side door pillar or inside the glove box on a payload certification form. Additionally, you can calculate the payload rating by subtracting your truck’s curb weight from its Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
How long does it take to build my Alaskan?
Depending on the options and features you’ve chosen it usually takes four to five months to complete the build.

I always liked having something to work on and something to plan around.

I just wanted to prove you can do this with a standard-range Lightning and a camper in the middle of nowhere.
— Cass Beach
For me, the Alaskan is easy to handle on the road and comfortable enough to be both home and office.

We came down, got the tour, the brochure, the whole walk-through. Maia was great—answered our questions, helped us figure out what would work. That’s when it all kind of clicked.

I have a tendency to meet people randomly and end up in places I didn't anticipate—and that is my favorite part of this trip.
— Thomas and Patricia McWilliams
It was always ready to do the job—whether that was holding heat in -20°, hauling 400 pounds of halibut, or giving our boys a place to learn in the middle of nowhere. It never asked much, and it never let us down. That camper did its duty—and then some!

I can go to Baja. I can go into the mountains to go fishing. Easy to drive. Easy to park. Honestly, I can pull over wherever I darn-well want and camp.
— Jeff and Deb Marks
We winged it! We didn’t over plan—we just picked a mileage goal, booked campgrounds on the fly, and let the road do the rest.

I’ve really come to love the Alaskan’s thoughtful design and how functional it is once you get the hang of it!
— Jim Nemanich
Waking up to deer bedded around camp or showering in the snow—those are the moments that make it all worth it. Every time someone compliments my rig, it reminds me I made the right choice.
— Gary and Brigitte Gibson
When I’m admiring the Alaskan craftsmanship I appreciate the years of natural evolution in the design. It is the result of steadfast commitment to quality for over sixty years. Now that’s uncommon!
— Carl and Lisa Chidiac
I don’t like campgrounds. To me, it’s not really getting away. It’s more like people getting in your way.
— Rick Sink
I can easily park and set up in a friend’s driveway. That way I have my own space in the mornings to drink my coffee before everyone gets up and makes me breakfast. Ha, just kidding.
