Smarter Travel, Built Into Your Ram
Travel smarter—lower, stronger, and built to last. An Alaskan isn’t an afterthought bolted to your truck; it’s part of it. The low profile keeps handling stable, reduces sway, and even helps with fuel economy. Park, pop the roof, and you’ve got solid walls, real windows, and a quiet, insulated space that shuts out wind and weather. Inside, every inch works—real cabinetry, efficient storage, and a layout built for living, not just sleeping. Since 1957, we’ve refined this design for drivers who want durability without bulk, simplicity without compromise, and the confidence to go anywhere a Ram can take them.
Compatible Ram Models
Trucks We Support...
- Ram 1500
- Ram 2500
- Ram 3500
Best Fit: 6.5′ or 8′ Beds
Ram 1500
The 5’7″ short bed on the 1500 isn’t compatible—stick with 6’4″ or 8′ beds for a safe, balanced fit. Payload varies widely: base regular cabs can top 2,000 lbs, while loaded 4WD crew cabs often land closer to 1,300–1,600 lbs. Check your driver’s door payload sticker before you commit. If you’re close to the limit, ride-assist upgrades can help with stability, but they won’t raise your official rating. Matched well, this combo delivers all-season comfort in a half-ton that still works like a truck.
Versatility Meets Capacity
Ram 2500
Handles our 8′ or 10′ campers with ease. Payload usually falls between 3,000–4,000 lbs depending on trim and options, leaving plenty of room for water, gear, and passengers. The 2500 strikes a great balance between daily drivability and the strength to carry a full build—perfect for extended travel or heavier interior packages.
Heavy-Duty Confidence
Ram 3500
The go-to for serious hauling and long-range travel. Payloads often exceed 4,000 lbs, and DRW configurations can top 4,600 lbs. Handles 8′ and 10′ models effortlessly, even with full tanks, e-bikes, tools, or hunting equipment on board. If you want maximum capacity and the confidence to take your home-on-wheels anywhere, this is the truck.

Dry weight runs from 1,550–2,250 lbs depending on model and options. Check your truck’s payload sticker to confirm fit.
Do you offer off-the-lot inventory?
Most are built to order, but we sometimes have completed units ready. See our Available Inventory page or call us.
Do I need suspension upgrades?

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.
