Close to the Road Trip to Alaska


Trial fit
March has come in like a Lion with new snow, but the days are getting longer and the sun is warmer. The Lance camper is ours but it remains at Polar RV until I go to pick it up probably in mid April. I have not been idle in the last few weeks, our truck was factory setup to haul a slide-in camper but I still had to buy or fabricate the tie downs to truck frame, fabricate an electrical extension cord for the camper tail lights and to recharge the camper battery. If you would know me you would know that I elected to fabricate everything. I very carefully checked out the best items online, that I needed and duplicated them. I think that I actually made them structurally stronger and improved in the design.

This is the first picture of us with our Lance camper. We hope to have many good adventures going across the northern United States, up into British Columbia, North West Territories, Yukon, and final into Alaska.
