Before we went to Alaska, we heard that you needed to protect the front of your tow vehicle, take a spare tire, take extra fuel tanks, get mosquito netting, etc. Now we realize that none of these things were necessary. Food and gas are very available at regular intervals and if we were to return, we wouldn't take any extra supplies. We did fill up our tanks on the road when they got close to half empty. The roads are bumpy in a few places and you will sometimes find it necessary to slow down to 20 or 30 mph but most of the roads are very good. We used our generator a few times on the road but very few. I don't think a generator would be necessary.
Most of all, get your Milepost magazine and start reading about the many fascinating places to visit and stay on the main roads when you're towing. We boondocked a few times and didn't have reservations very often. There are two military bases, at least, in Alaska and some Corp of Engineers parks where you might like to get reservations. Have fun with the planning. It's part of the adventure.
