RV TRIP PLANNING GUIDE / Alaska 2023 / RV Lifestyle / Driving the ALCAN / Camping

We've been planning this Alaska trip for over a year and we're doing it. Enough talk, let's walk! Well...we'll drive but you get the picture. RV Trip Planning Guide, we use Campendium, Milepost and iOverlander.

Taking our Class C to Alaska so we can get to some remote areas and drive on roads less traveled. We've taken our Big Rig before but this time will be different. We're going to Denali and Tek campground but also the Dalton highway and so much more.

We've packed clothes, food and the Trip Planner has got the schedule mapped out. Only 7 reservations at campgrounds so we want to remain flexible. Full hookups for 50 days which means boondocking for 100 days on this tour. 70 total stops over 150 days means our average and mileage goes out the window!

It will be fun and an adventure in a Class C plus, bigger than a vanlifer (Van Life) but smaller than a truck Super Class C. We'll scout out places for future visits to Alaska (there will be 4 of them).

We use the TSD card for diesel fuel and save a bundle each time we fill up our Big Rig. We also use it to fill up our Onan generator.

Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.

We are not sponsored by Whataburger but I do enjoy them anytime I can get my hands on one. They used to be just out of Texas but they have expanded.
