Description
es, that's right! FIBERGLASS!
The fiberglass models were produced in limited numbers for only two years alongside their more common aluminum-over-wood framed versions that started in the 1950's. The fiberglass Alaskans are much more durable and aerodynamic than the original flat-faced/flat-sided aluminum version. They are also lighter with bigger windows and three cool skylights (not so dark and cavelike), AND they have three roof vents for greater ventilation. Most importantly, they stay weather-proof when other campers start to fall apart and let in moisture.
Like other Alaskans, this 10' truck camper raises and lowers with a hydraulic pump. It is in original condition with sink, stove, refrigerator, clothing drawer, closet, and vanity. There is not a composting toilet included, but it would be easy to install one. It also does not have a table, but again -- easy to add one. It has a really cool 70's-era fake wood decal interior ceiling with high-gloss finish. Please see the pictures for the condition -- while you could use this camper as is, it will be a project to get it in like-new shape -- the glass on the door is shattered, one front window is cracked, the camper needs to be rewired, there are small breaks in the plastic inside and some cracking to the exterior fiberglass, it is missing tail light covers, gaskets and seals should be replaced, there are no light fixtures, there are spots of rust on the stove, and it needs a good cleaning. It does not have a key. The hydraulic pump does raise and lower properly.
HOWEVER, there are only a handful of these fiberglass models in the US, and none others for sale at this time that I could find. They are VERY rare and in high demand. This camper will make an awesome expedition rig or a great space while hunting/camping. You can even sleep in it while in lowered position for stealth camping in the city! Also, it does not require DMV registration, since it is a camper. Lower this baby on your truck and let the adventure begin!
