Alaskan TC Owners

They are "Alaska" by the way, not "Alaskan". (And it's realtor not realator and nuclear not nucular but we don't have time to talk about that right now). Just kidding. Really, who cares! :)

But I don't own one, never used one. We had a fabric pop-up and camped as low as -33 degrees. HIGHLY unrecommended. But we've been comfortable down to -5 dry camping and unplugged.

I have several hunting partners (Wyoming Rocky Mountains) who ALL use Alaska campers (but they don't do Internet), on trailers and haul their ATVs on the trailer too. Makes a nice platform for a camp and stuff. But they park it after setting up once. Yes, they are wide open when setting up. Bugs, rain, snow, whatever - are all coming in. But once up they are going to be more snug than a fabric. Good quality, excellent manufacturer support, expensive.

But they are still a pop-up and that means interior amenities are affected.

Down the road we just LOVED our pop-up. Love the compact nature traveling! We could make short stops and use this or that (porti-potti?) without a full pop-up. Not sure if an Alaska will allow that.

At camp? Very cozy, enjoyable! But compared to our travel trailer? Oh the TT is WAAAY nice at camp. Still, for off-road or small road, can't beat a pop-up and Alaska is a great pop-up choice.

It's all a balance of pros and cons and I hope this helps some.
