Looking for Alpenlite community

[Seabeckiantrave]

Hi All,
Just purchased a Limited Series Cheyenne 950. We are excited to hit the road! Looking for a Alpenlite community forum to get tips and tricks, and to start a dialogue with fellow Truck Campers. My folks owned a Security in the 70's and I remember some great times. Now, at last, I'm retired and ready to travel

Alpenlite (Western RV) made excellent products. Their campers and 5th wheels were both considered higher end units. Quite a few years ago, I had the opportunity of touring their factory. It was sad to see them go under.

Appreciate the feedback folks!

I have an Alpenlite 1150,its been a great camper. Its A 2000 model and I've owned it about 16 years.The only issue I've had was the right side wing became soft which I rebuilt using pressure treat wood then a coat of fiber glass.I believe it was one of the first aluminum framed campers. Good luck with yours.

I actually haven’t heard anything bad about them. As others have noted, most of the potential issues /troubleshooting of RVs is pretty similar.

Still, probably a good idea to check all of the caulking/dicor and replace as necessary.

A buddy of mine had an alpenlite and he loved it but like my old coachman ranger it was a leak machine. Beautiful though. Good luck with your new camper.

Thanks, AnEv942! Look forward to going through the information.

Realistically, I don't think you are going to find a dedicated community for an obscure, out-of-production truck camper.

Any "tips and tricks" that apply to any camper will apply to yours. It seems like a pretty generic camper, standard construction, common appliances, nothing special.

So what's wrong with this forum?

Pretty sure OPs Alpenlite is a truck camper
