Working with the hosts was great- very responsive to messages and flexible when we ran into some flight delays. They have suggestions on itineraries and have everything you need included with the camper - camp chairs/table, cooking stuff, towels, campfire supplies, and more. That was great! We literally had everything we needed except for one small cooler we borrowed from a friend so our six pack would be ice cold. To my surprise, we needed the heater a couple of times overnight so that was a pretty great thing to have.Driving this camper was also no problem (admittedly, my husband did all the driving), but after a little time getting used to such a large truck, he said it wasn't a big deal. It ran like a champ and we never had any concerns despite its age. Having a large gas tank is really nice too. Being unrestricted from gravel roads gave us endless options. We ended up taking it on the Denali Hwy and were able to camp along the way which was an amazing experience. We didn't go far off the main road, but did take a wrong turn that was very rough but it wasn't really a concern. The biggest challenge we had was going in reverse or turning around (not a limitation of the camper of course, but just a learning curve thing). Setup and takedown is super easy and the "pop-up" nature of it probably makes it easier to handle than other camper trucks. We liked that low profile b/c we never had to worry about being too tall. It also has cassette toilet which looked fine although we opted not to use it - BLM sites have great facilities and in-between we just did as campers do.It is an older camper and we had a few issues with the camper itself, the major one being that the fridge didn't work well, but that wasn't really an issue until it got hot while we were in Fairbanks. If we had known, a larger cooler and some ice would've been all that was needed and it would've been totally fine. But this would definitely not deter me from renting it again and is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

I can't thank Mike and Stephine enough for turning my Alaska trip into an unforgettable adventure. From the planning stage to the journey itself, they offered invaluable suggestions for exploring Alaska within my timeframe.I embarked on a road trip starting from Fairbanks, driving down Richardson Highway, and camped at some beautiful spots. Tangle Lake at Paxton was a highlight! Then it was off to Valdez, where I caught a ferry to Whittier. Along the way, I had the opportunity to explore Kenai Fjords National Park in Seward. I even made a pit stop in Anchorage to hang out with a fellow traveler I met. And of course, the majestic Denali National Park was an absolute highlight. As my trip wound down, I soaked in the stunning fall foliage up Steese Highway.

Arctic Overland did help us in a great way when we had issues in the middle of nowhere. The camper truck is equipped with everything it needs to have a good time exploring the less crowded places of Alaska and very robust and sturdy - exactly right for the Dalton road.

Blue is the best!!! We are so happy we found this website and these hosts. Mike and
Steph were thorough, helpful, responsive, and nice. They spent a good amount of time with us running thru systems as well as tips on driving the Dalton Highway and must see stops. We felt safe and comfortable in this truck our whole way up the Dalton. We camped on the side of the road in turnouts as well as campgrounds. Every night was cozy in this truck. It is equipped with everything you need and nothing you don’t. The bed was comfy, awesome to have the little toilet when the bugs were fierce, earplugs provided for the diesel noise, just the right amount of kitchen gear, and little extras that made a huge difference like chairs, hiking poles, ziplocks, garbage bags, spices, etc…
We can’t imagine taking this trip any other way. Thank you so much! We will recommend this site and Blue to others. A great trip to Alaska :)

Thank you Mike & Steph for alll your help with the last minute booking. My wife and I decided to take an early 10 year anniversary trip due to health issues with her and unsure if she'd feel up to it in July. Even though we had issues with our flight to and from Alaska, the truck made up for it and traveling was so much easier. Mike was flexible with meeting us at a later time due to our arriving flight delay, which was appropriated. We were very appreciative of the gold pannning pans provided in the camper. That was the most relaxing thing we've done together in awhile. Thank you for the memories we were able to make.

Having a Truck Camper in Alaska is super convenient as shown by the sheer volume of other truck campers we saw on the road. Food at restaurants is very expensive and Blue's kitchen did just the trick with a stove, sink and good size fridge. The bed was amply comfortable and the heater helped out on very cold nights. Perfect camper for boondocking. Mike and Stephanie were very flexible with arranging pick-up and drop-off of camper in Fairbanks and very prompt to reply to messages concerning any questions we had about the camper.

I had an awesome trip. The truck and camper were great. The unexpected snow added some adventure, but the truck handled it without issue. I took some great landscape photos and enjoyed the wilderness.

This camper truck took us on amazing, trouble-free gold panning adventures along the Dalton Highway and to Denali and back. Loved that the owners included thoughtful perks so that we could have even tent camped, had we chose. Plus. Mike gives a detailed instructional on how to set up and run everything. The truck performed excellently, despite the road conditions. The camper was super clean and comfortable from 34-70 degree temp range. The fridge, propane cook stove, heater, and port-a-pot made life that much more convenient. Plus, I got lots of compliments on such an awesome rig. Loved it!!!

Our experience with this truck/rig/camper was incredible! My husband and I flew in from across the country in order to celebrate our anniversary. The owners anticipated our every need, and went above and beyond to provide such creature comforts as spa face masks, light-blocking sleep masks (because the sun never set!), and a French press coffee pot. We explored the Arctic circle and then headed to Denali for the majority of our trip. The truck was fun to drive, and the camper was easy to use, as well as ridiculously comfortable. Both my husband and I are tall, and we both fit in the queen size bed without any issues. If you're on the fence about renting this camper rig, don't hesitate--go for it!

Perfect camper for the ultimate road trip. Want to follow that little dirt road to see where it goes and end up parking up in a gravel bed and spending the night near the foot of a glacier? You can! Mike and Stephanie were very open, friendly and accommodating and the rig is very comfortable with pretty much every mod con you could want while on the road.

2600 km road trip in Alaska - vehicle was perfectly suited to everything from dirt roads to freeways. Mike and Stephanie were gracious and very accommodating, and brought the vehicle to and from us. Highly recommended.
