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.

Here are some of the cameras I use to get the high quality buttery smooth video you see on my channel.

I love the DJI OSMO action because it has image stabilization (no 3 axis gimbal needed and a front facing screen) And its affordable!!!

GoPro Hero 10 - This has "horizon lock" which is amazing! Combined with image stabilization....this camera basically killed all my 3 axis gimbals lol. Its a game changer for action video. Hyper smooth is no joke. Invest and buy it if you are serious about making videos.

I just purchased an 8.5' cabover in March 2017. The wife and I drove from Fort Lauderdale Florida to the factory in Winlock, Washington to pick it up. I love it and I'm super happy I bought it.

[doncoleman]

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.

[guyh.]

Love Alaskan's. Amazing quality. The one "problem" with these, so to speak, is it seems impossible to find one used. People DO NOT let go of these! Nice!

[Trunkmonk-lppk]

Alaskan campers gets it, so many are just kids into a fad then go home. these are real lifetime campers

[JeepDude_]

My dad has one from the 70s or 80s it has never EVER LEAKED warm as hell and I'm 100% sure he'd give me and my brother up B4 he'd sell that camper!! He's gone through 3 trucks camper still BRAND NEW

[saddlesNsage]

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!

[JhunM]

This is much better than those soft pop-up campers.. nice set toilet set up too BUT no shower inside?

[TOTALLYRELAXED]

I love the fact that it’s a combination of hard side ‘AND’ popup, but, not having a shower was a no-go for me. Also, having the refrigerator so low was another. I’ll be buying the Northstar 850SC instead.

[cdamauser]

I had one--a 10 footer but no cabover bed--still awesome--and they do hold their value.

[icallbs]

I have my dads Alaskan 1976, still mint condition, all original minus modern upholstery I had done last year, never leaked a drop a water, although it does not sit outside when not in use, has been garage kept since bought new. We use our Montana 5th wheel 90% of the time, but for short weekend fishing trips that old Alaskan can’t be beat.

Every single time in a video like this, it's like "tons of storage".
Not just storage, but tons of it!
Every single time!

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.

[backwoodsbungalow]

The Alaskan would be my first choice of truck camper. Glad to hear that they have a smaller version for a half ton truck. Aluminium Ford F150 and Alaskan truck camper would make a great combination.

[darylwright]

I sure appreciate your videos. If it wasn't for you I'd never see half the products available. You're doing more for these companies then they do for themselves.

[CroakerOutdoors]

Whenever I start up one of these cool cottage industry camper videos I just know it's going to be a kick in the wallet.

[Camperhollow]

I've seen a lot of campers but not one quite like this one. Very unique.

[AgentDM]

I like that you can put this on a Regular Cab pickup without obscuring the view forward. Most modern truck campers are made for extended or crew cabs.

[Reub]

I was soooo excited about this camper for the first 5 min.. Oh well! So much for that camper.

[bradmiller]

A little spendy but with as good a track record as this company has, and as solid as everyone says these campers are, my guess is that they hold their value very well. What a beautiful design....

[TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

this is cool. I didn't realize they still make campers. We meet a couple in Nicaragua that has an old one. The are doing the Pan American in it. We are looking into a hard sided camper when we get back from our California to Panama and back trip.
