pop-up hard side truck campers by Alaskan Campers

This pop up truck camper caught my eye because it has something not many pop up truck campers have...and that is "hard side walls".
Most have canvas or some other fabric integrated into their pop up design which is great for mild weather but in places where it snows, those fabric walls simply don't hold up as well as hard walls.
Yes you can upgrade to a winter package that gives you more insulation with those fabric walls but they still take a beating if its windy and can make ALOT of noise when hit by constant wind.
Thats where the Alaskan camper dominates! You have the protection and insulation of a hard wall camper but the benefits of collapsing the camper down when driving to give you better gas milage as well as lower your center of gravity for off roading.
It also has a lower height on the trails so you can fit in forested areas a lot easier than a top heavy traditional truck bed camper which are insanely tall.
That height is nice when you are camping but it restricts where you can go if you want to reach the deep parts of the back country.
Yes they are expensive but they are built like tanks and won't fall apart after 2 seasons banging around mountain trails like many lesser quality campers have done.
These hand crafted campers look nice enough to be family heirlooms to be handed down to your grandkids.

I bought a 1965 non cab-over Alaskan used for $850 in 1975, put it on a '72 Ford F250 and used that rig until I sold it in 2005. We had 30 years of fun times from it and it still worked great. It never leaked and was as solid as ever. They are built like nothing else. Back then they were all light birch veneer interiors, very cool. Really wish I still had it!

I bought One of the first cabover campers they built in 1977. I have used in Alaska since then as I lived there from 75 to 2015. Still working great.Not many problems. They were built in my home town of Chehelis Wa.

Bought one new around 1974. It`s 'achilles heel' was the faulty (weather seal), which made the camper extremely drafty. And don`t forget to disconnect the power lead before removing camper from the truck.....

I purchased mine almost six years ago and we still own it today. They are one if not the most durable pickup camper on the market today. I purchased the larger model at that time and use a 3/4 ton pickup with the extended cab. I honestly feel I could have gotten by with a heavy 1/2 ton but I wanted a pickup with a diesel engine and the heavier duty suspension. What is also nice which was not shown if for some reason your truck's battery is dead you can also crank the camper up manually. My Wife and I have traveled to just about every state in our country and are now starting all over again but taking our time more. The company really has super support if any questions or parts are needed but we have yet to need either. I had a regular pickup camper before this one and each weighed within a few hundred pounds of each other and the wind affected our other camper where as this one there is basically nothing. I can't give you only a rough guest amit on the fuel milage comparing the 2 and I am guessing about 3-4 miles per gallon more at least. I had always wanted one from the time I saw my first one growing up as a kid and now I have one.

These are REALLY Nice Campers! We have a 2017- 8.5ft. Each camper is hand built from the ground up, specific for the owner. They are well built! Customized to your liking! We chose the Alaskan, because of the hard side pop up feature, and they hold their value. Nice to get into tight spots, and not be top heavy. The Alaskan Camper Crew were friendly to work with, and top notch at explaining EVERYTHING!

We use our Montana 5th wheel 90% of the time, but for short weekend fishing trips that old Alaskan can’t be beat.

my grandpa had an Alaskan way back in the 70's. I remember sleeping in it a few times as a kid MANY years late. it was a bit crusty but still holding up, which is saying something given my experience with newer campers. its funny, the lift struts look the exact same.

I bought one of these campers ten years ago and aside from common maintenance , I have had few issues to worry over. Alaskan campers have been built by hand to the same exacting standards since the 1950s ; and with many older models still being seen on the roads today , these old teak paneled beauties are a true testament to the quality of Alaskans finely crafted camps on the go. The Alaskan pop up top makes for a very low profile giving me much better milage and safety due to the lower center of gravity , and functions with a hydraulic system that comes with a life time full warranty . These campers also boast some of the lightest weight you will find in the industry , again adding to safety and better fuel consumption. The folks at Alaskan are very friendly and extremely helpful from the time you order your camper to the day you may decide to upgrade to your next one , ( which I understand many people do ). If you are looking for a very durable camper that will stand up to years of incredibly rough , rocky roads , this is the camper you want. Torrey , New Orleans

Happy to see the Alaskan Camper get some up to date exposure.

In a market of Sportsmobiles and Earthroamers, I think it's all relative to the customer.

Looks like it's well built, but I'd be a little concerned about the weather seals on the fold down panels deteriorating over time. If I ever purchased a truck camper, it'd definitely be a pop up. I want to be able to do some moderate off-roading and hard side campers are way too top heavy for my comfort.That said, I'd probably go with a Four Wheel before something like this. I wouldn't be camping in the winter, so a soft side would be fine for my use, plus they're a lot less expensive than these.
@mixflip
@mixflip 5 років тому
I'm curious about the seals as well. I guess we should consider they have been in business for 50+ years so they have had plenty of time to perfect their product. As for choosing this over a 4wheelcamper...it probably boils down to personal preference. Choose the right tool for the job. If you do more cold weather camping and less rock crawling then this might be a better fit. I love the shell model of the 4wheelcamper because its lightweight and only $10,000 but it is gutted with no stove sink fridge cabinets or toilet. Big trade off for sure.
@ronniemorris9685
@ronniemorris9685 7 років тому
I'm sure this is a quality product, but, $31K for the entry level, and, doesn't come with items that should be standard for a camper (a/c, shower, etc)? You'd have to add about $6K in options for it to be outfitted properly for use as a camper. I guess it may depend on what part of the country you're in, but, I'm flabbergasted anyone would even consider paying $31K for such a small camper that fits in the truck bed. Before I saw pricing, I was guessing $10K for the entry level. Boy, did I ever miss that.

mrouterrim these were built for workers who had to construct the Alaskan highway 50 years ago. They are time tested and respected in the industry.

To all the people ragging on the price, a Hallmark Camper starts at 30K, and goes up from there. A Four Wheel Camper may start under 18K, but once you start putting in many popular options, you start getting close to 30K. Hell the Woolrich Edition is 37K. Yes, you can get a hard side for way less, but you cannot take a hard side where a pop up can wander. If you have to ask, you don't understand as they say.

You can sleep on the ground in a tent for $100. Yes...but you can take the wife and kids to your favorite national park for a week or 2 comfortably even when the weather gets wet or cold in one of these. For some its a great family heirloom with decades of fond memories.

31k for that? what has happened to camping being the cheap way of vacationing? I can stay in hotels anywhere for 6 months cheaper. I can buy large Camping trailers with slide outs, shower, toilet, multiple sleeping only a few years old for 7k. They are robbing people.

Seriously doubt you can buy a slide out camper for 7k. A new top of the line Lance with 2 slides is 50k, but this is a different beast. MSRP is different than actual sales, at 20k he can probably sell more. I do agree EVERYTHNG at the EXPO is ridiculously over priced especially camper vans for over 150k sprinter

You should see the prices on the campers that aren't pop-ups. Some of them go for over $50k. If you want cheap camping, you'd better stick to a tent. RVs aren't cheap. And they require maintenance. This is a very nice camper at a reasonable price point.

I see a lot of comments about the $31,000 price. Honestly, most slide in campers are pricey. I don't know why. You can purchase a pull behind trailer (with wheels and larger living space) for less. Then don't get me started on conversation vans that sell for over $100,000. But, I do like this one, small but made with quality. These are made for sportsmen, for hunting. I cannot see camping with this. Set up camp for the night, then break camp for sightseeing, then set camp up again, repeat ....
@mixflip
@mixflip Рік тому
I think alot of it has to do with mobility? A 4x4 truck with a pop top camper can access roads trails and paths that a pull behind travel trailer or 5th wheel or class B or class C or even most vans cannot go. Toughness costs money.

31k and UP ...Damn shame everything in the RV world is so freaking expensive. They talk like 31k &up is pocket change.I grew up when camping was AFFORDABLE to a blue collar working family..not only was it primarily blue collar folks that camped, it was them the RV industry price structure was aimed out. Who the hell are these working class families that can drop that kind of money and where do they work at??? Most RV parks have exponentially raised their rates faster than inflation.

I see that 4 wheel makes one that's about 700 lbs. but even that ends up being close to 1000 lbs or more , wet and loaded. I've got a 1/2 ton and I'd like see something closer to 500 lbs. I may try to make it myself from a fiberglass shell.

I STILL have questions about rain, and that is why I have not bought one. I have a health problem with mold; if you put the sides down wet, maybe it didn't actually rain inside, but they are still wet. How do you avoid mold growth?
