How do I choose the right Alaskan Camper?
Start with your truck’s capacity, how many people travel with you, and the features you need. Compare floor plans and equipment in our Buyer’s Guides.
Will an Alaskan Camper fit my truck?
Fit depends on bed dimensions and your truck’s capacity to carry the fully loaded camper. Share your truck details with us before choosing a model.
What’s the difference between slide-in and flatbed campers?
Slide-in campers fit inside a pickup bed. Flatbed campers mount on a flatbed and offer different floor plans, including rear-dinette layouts.
How is the HS 640 different from the original Alaskan?
The HS 640 uses insulated composite panels and an aluminum-and-PVC thermal-break frame. Original Alaskans feature a hard-sided pop-up design that lowers for travel.
Can I buy an in-stock camper instead of ordering a build?
Yes. Browse our current inventory for prebuilt campers, or order a build with your preferred layout, finishes, and options.
Is financing available?
Yes, through our partner Elite Recreational Finance. Alaskan does not provide financing directly.

It's nimble enough to move quickly and go almost anywhere, but has enough creature comforts that it's almost like having a Class C motorhome.
— Pat Gordon
The kids think I'm crazy. The grandkids think I'm cool.
— Michelle Meyers-Garcia
The smaller Alaskan started making more sense almost immediately.
— Brandon Faliszewski
The roads kind of dictate what works and what doesn't.
— Mike Dahlager
I always liked having something to work on and something to plan around.
— Matt Mortensen
I just wanted to prove you can do this with a standard-range Lightning and a camper in the middle of nowhere.
— Curran and Dawn Foley
We’ve had four Alaskans, and every one has carried us through something different.
— Cass Beach
For me, the Alaskan is easy to handle on the road and comfortable enough to be both home and office.
— Alex & Ann Genn
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.
— Court Long
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!
— Bob Broderick
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.
— Shannon Moore
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.
