Durability that endures
Insulated & comfortable
Effortless elevation
Uncompromised freedom
Fortress on wheels
Traditional tent and fiberglass pop-ups simply cannot compare to the robust, solid-frame construction of an Alaskan Camper. Enhanced by superior insulation—R11 within the walls and R13 on the ceiling—our campers are designed to maintain a comfortable internal environment, no matter how harsh the weather outside becomes.
Truly one-of-a-kind
Alaskan Campers are the only hard-sided, pop-up truck campers on the market. Our telescopic solution can raise and lower the camper at the push of a button. More nimble than an RV or fifth wheel and more protected than tent pop-ups, Alaskans also offer extensive personalization options. From selecting the layout to choosing finishes and features, build your unique Alaskan that reflects your style and includes everything you need for your escape.

- Getting a plan together
- Foundation and framing
- Installing lift system
- Interior features and finishes
- Quality checks and vehicle mounting
Step 1:
Getting a plan together
Feel free to use our builder tool or contact our sales team to start planning your Alaskan. Use the online builder to customize features, finishes, and layouts to your preference, or if you prefer, we can start from scratch over the phone. The first step is planning your build, and we’re here to assist you every step of the way.
We can help you…
- determine what Alaskan style, size, and features work best for your truck.
- understand weight limits and proper center of gravity recommendations for your truck.
- select options/add-ons and answer any questions.
Step 2:
Foundation and framing
When designs are in place, we get to work framing the foundation, top, and bottom sections of your camper. It’s here, at our facility in Winlock, Washington where tradition meets technology. We combine CNC precision with the skill of master craftsmen to construct and assemble the most versatile and reliable campers available. After our shell is in place we get to work installing and testing electrical, plumbing, and heating systems.
Step 3:
Installing lift system
The hydraulic lift system is a key feature of Alaskan Campers, providing a seamless and efficient way to transition between a compact travel mode and an expanded living space. This innovative system, powered by a reliable hydraulic pump, allows for easy and quick raising and lowering of the camper’s hard-sided walls, offering both convenience and stability.
Benefits of a hydraulic pop-up:
- Improved aerodynamics; lowered state minimizes wind resistance, enhancing fuel efficiency.
- Expanded living space; offers a high-ceilinged interior, increasing the usable space while camping.
- Ease of use; effortlessly switch between compact travel mode and expanded living space with the push of a button.
Interior features and finishes
With our camper assembled and systems installed, it’s time to add your personal touches. From additional storage and power options to adding a backup camera or an awning, your Alaskan is built your way. The result is a camper that not only reflects your style but is customized around your needs. Visit our Builder Tool for a full list of included features and optional add-on features.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of wood is used during the framing process?
Our campers are constructed using premium laminated wood beams and top-grade multi-ply marine-grade plywood, chosen for their optimal balance of durability, weight, and robustness. Every piece of wood undergoes meticulous inspection to ensure it is free of imperfections, contributing to the camper’s lasting quality and strong, lightweight framework.
How heavy is a typical Alaskan Camper?
Dry weight for Alaskan Campers varies depending on the model length—from approximately 1,500 lbs for a 6.5’ model to 2,500 lbs for the 10’ model.
How long does it take to build my Alaskan?
Depending on the options and features you’ve chosen it usually takes four to five months to complete the build.
I did research and visited all the pop camper manufacturers in search of quality, low center of gravity, low profile rig to go deep into the wilderness. By far, Alaskan Campers beat out all the rest. The interior is pure quality. Also, as a young kid- about 8yrs old, my dad had a 50's vintage Alaskan. This was a nostalgic choice for me. Finally, Wow!, the build team was so experienced, friendly, and worked well as a team. Seeing that in person sold me. I knew I was going to get a great camper that was going to last.
