Description

This Alaskan fiberglass pop up camper has less maintenance than travel trailers or motorhomes because it has less parts – no wheels, no engines. The fiberglass model was released in 1969 after three years of development and is very rare and was very expensive to make at that time. Alaskan Camper only made the fiberglass models for a few years '71, '72, and '73 and they were only produced in limited numbers alongside their more common aluminum camper model. They are much more aerodynamic than the original flat faced/flat sided aluminum version. The fiberglass model is lighter than the vintage aluminum campers with bigger windows along with three roof vents for greater ventilation. It’s estimated weight is around 1,300-1,400 lbs. Other interesting information was that the top half does not need to rest on the truck bed when in the down position. This makes it easier if you want to mount the camper on a flatbed trailer, not having to build a shelf to support it. Fits a regular 8ft truck bed with the tailgate down or removed.

This 1973 fiberglass Alaskan Camper raises and lowers extremely easily with a hydraulic hand pump. This rare camper is in its original condition with a stainless steel sink, three burner stove, small refrigerator/freezer, clothing drawer, closet and small vanity. This Camper has a beautiful wood decal interior ceiling with high gloss finish and has held up extremely well over the years.

  • Head room 6’3” ceiling for comfortable living when popped up
  • 4-way views adds to the spacious interior
  • Cabinets and storage space
  • One queen size bed or two twin beds for sleeping (2 couches are 6’ 2” long so 2 people could sleep on each or it folds out into a queen size bed)
  • Wiring 12V and 110 V3 burner stove, stainless steel sink, small refrigerator/freezer, 20-gallon water tank
We added:
  • Custom Paint on outside of camper
  • Custom Interior Blinds for Windows
  • Two Solar Panels on rooftop
  • Tank Monitoring System to monitor fresh water, gray water and propane levels
  • New propane heater
  • Repaired hydraulic pump system (raises and lowers the lid)
  • Re-upholstered fabric on cushions for dinette/bed
  • Repaired all lighting inside camper
Due to its low profile and superb maneuverability, there are few rigs we would rather be in when exploring unknown roads and new territory than the truck camper. This Camper has made an awesome expedition rig for our family at a very reasonable price compared to many Overland Expo setups. Camper shell only.
