PREPARING VEHICLE FOR ALASKA
MOTORHOME:
(1) Bra of padded cloth or plastic shield for front of vehicle with guards for headlights and fog lights (We had bra with clear plastic sewn into cover lights and screening for radiator air inlets). Clear plastic should be spared as not to touch lights. Painted mirrors should have covers too. We didn’t have any nicks or chips for entire trip.
(2) Large mud flaps front and rear wheels, also rock guard flap at rear
bumper to protect towed vehicle. Make sure they don’t drag on the ground. It should be about 2 inches clearance when level.
(3) Rear Engine Pusher:
(a) Tight air cleaner and filters. Note: Roads in Alaska and
Canada use calcium chloride on roads to hold down dust. Air Cleaners should be secure and checked often. More then one motor home was in for engine rebuild due to sucking in own dust.
(b) A rock guard for cooling fans definitely needed. When we went in for an oil change on our vehicle at Anchorage Cummins in August, there were 4 pusher’s waiting for radiators (they already had over twenty for the summer. Some radiators had as many as 18 holes.
© Front transmission coolers or A/C coils that hang down between the chassis should also have rock guards.
(4) Dingy (Towed vehicle)
(a) Full bra covering front end and up over windshield.
(b) Dolly or tow bar protective shield.
(c) New UNDERSKIRT hangs below tow bar and is full width of rear bumper of motor home and tapered to full width of the dingy. Rocks from our own motor home bounced off tow bar and the bar back chipping the clear coat on the motor home rear bumper. NOTE: We got UNDERSHIRT sent to us at Fairbanks and it stopped the rocks from flying back and also stopped rocks from piling up on rear bumper.
(d) Mirror covers; We used heavy duty tube socks. They worked well.
DRIVING THE ALASKA HIGHWAY
We tried to drive on Sunday mornings as much as possible because of the construction and no trucks. We would start driving at 0900 and be at in campsite by 1500 or 1600. By making this adjustment, we saw very little construction or truck traffic. The only construction on Sunday is at heavy bridges, drainage where they would work around the clock (moving hillsides). These areas have pilot cars to guide you through. When we approached these construction areas, we would pull off the road and wait until our lane was to move through. At that time, we would move up and attach our self to the end. While transiting the construction area, we could then maintain our speed and stay out of the dust. The pilot cars tend to race through the heavy construction areas. These areas usually have the bigger rocks and bumps. We tried to keep our speed at 10 MPH. When we left these work areas, we would pull over and check between the dual tires for lodged rocks, which could cause tire failure or fly our and damage the underside of the motor home or tow car. This procedure also allowed us to have empty highway behind us for awhile.
Certain highways in Alaska do not allow a vehicle to hold up more then 5 cars at one time. Therefore, if you have a backup, you must pull over and allow them to pass. We moved over for a lot less. Many construction areas that were near completion (usually up to 12 to 15 miles and only requiring asphalt) would be 70 feet wide, but covered with small gravel. This was where most of the rock damage would occur because traffic moves at 65 to 70 MPH in both directions. We found by flashing our headlights two or three times to on coming traffic (18 wheeler’s), we would then pull off to the side of the road as far as we could and STOP. We could have just slowed down, but didn’t want to get into a soft edge and then get pulled over the edge. By doing this, EVERY trucker slowed down, went as far to his side as he could go, waved at us and went by slowly. We did not receive one windshield chip. If we saw a fast moving truck coming up from behind, even a pick-up truck pulling a boat trailer, we would move over and do the same thing. We talked to truckers along our route and they get a lot of damage from RV’s. Most of the truckers stated that they do not have insurance coverage on damage to their rigs from rocks to windshields and lights. Therefore they appreciated our courtesy. We found them all very helpful to us with good information on road conditions.
The FROST HEAVES or DIPS are the next thing to watch closely. Canadian roads usually have orange stakes next to the dip. Alaska does not mark them. These are best seen by watching the white edge marking or black tire skid marks in the center of your lane. The black skid marks are made by surge brakes from trailers as they go through the dip. A new one year old highway will also have heaves. SLOW DOWN is your best protection. We averaged 28 to 30 MPH on paved highway over a day’s trip. You can figure 200 miles in 5 to 6 hours, if no construction is present. There are highways where you can travel 65 to 70 MPH, but not many; we kept our top speed to 55 MPH. When you see how the locals drive cars and trucks, you will understand why. NOTE: The most damage done to RV’s was done from speed. Motor homes with air suspension (bottoming out) and trailers (5th wheels mostly) with rear kitchens. Damage included refrigerators ripped out of the walls, every cabinet open, even catsup-mustard jars flung to the 5th wheels front bedroom and broken. All resulting from to much speed on bad highway sections.
TIRES: Every day before starting and also stops at waysides, check tires on all wheels for proper inflation. We use TIRE THUMPER. We had a rock hit a valve on the outside rear tire and by checking inflation, it was at 40 PSI (normal 95). We brought the pressure back up to 95 PSI and at the next rest stop with service, we had them install a new valve ($8.00). It still good after 12,000 miles – still holding 95 PSI. SERVICE: There are plenty of places to get gas/diesel, along the Alaska highway and also in Alaska. We never let our fuel gauge go below 1/3 full. You even have telephone service for AT&T in most areas and along highway to Alaska.
SIGHTSEEING AND TRAVEL IN ALASKA
First let me say, Alaska is beautiful and at times, breathtaking, but it is also different. Alaska is also the dirtiest state in the union to drive. Your rig will be the dirtiest it’s ever been and will be that way many times. The calcium chloride can only be washed off by scrubbing with soap and water. It is important that it be removed because it corrodes paint and metal. Caravan’s traveling to Alaska will form lines at wash rack’s ($8.00 to $10.00 to wash with a 7 to 8 hour wait at the wash rakes. Its light all night long so no problem in summer. There are not any campgrounds that allow you to wash RV’s on site. Most campgrounds are graded parking lots of rock and dirt. Water pressure can be low, due to pumps and electric power being provided by generators (except in major cities).
We got to Alaska in early June and left the beginning of October. We had some nice campgrounds in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Homer and Haines. Haines was the cleanest and nicest campground we stayed in Alaska.
No national parks in Alaska let you drive into them. You must drive around them on major highways. Denali N.P. Lets you drive to a campground 1 ½ miles into park and also on an 8 mile road to sightsee. Then you must use park busses to go further. The longest trip is 81 miles to Wonder Lake, an 11 hour round trip. About 5 other shorter trips are available in the parks, but we did only the 81 mile trip and saw the most wildlife. Most trips into national parks are for serious backpackers. For these trips hou have to take a ranger course before setting off. Allow two or three days to sign up for trips at Denali. They fill up quickly in the summer.
Before heading to Denali N.P., stock up on food. No fresh food in or around entrance to park. Food is very expensive. Milk about $8.00 a gallon etc. No fresh meat, fish, or vegetables. Only dry backpacker’s food. Good restaurants outside the entrance, but expensive - $22.00 for a large pizza. We were warned and stocked up in Fairbanks, and were able to stay a week with no problem. “Fred Meyers” in Fairbanks (North) and Wasilla (South), both about 4 hours drive – good roads from Fairbanks to Anchorage.
Anchorage is very large and modern (350,000 people). Great roads and highways. We used this as a base to visit Turn again Arm, Portage Glacier, Whittier (road opened in 2000) and Alyeska area. You can fly to Kagtami N.P. (where big bears stand in river) for about $950.00 for two and a 6-7 hour round trip. It’s about the same price from Homer.
Homer and Seward have good roads to them. It’s about 80 miles to Seward turn-off. The mountains are mostly along coast, but are easy to get through. Seward doesn’t have any great campgrounds, most dirty, but boat trips to Kenai Fjords N.P. start there and are excellent. We took the longest cruise to Southeastern Fjord and Glacier. A lot of whales and wildlife and plenty of glaciers. The cost was about $125.00 per person. Downtown Sewart is a great Alaska sea life center. You can hike and climb on “Exit Glacier”, 3 miles outside of town. Homer was the best in the area. Good roads, clean town and a lot to do. We spent a week, high on the cliffs overlooking the bay and town. We could watch whales from our campground. There is also parking on Homer “Spit” for free, but no hook-ups or dump station. We recommend water taxi to Halibut Cove (about 45 minutes) It’s an artist community and you can walk boardwalks to the shops. We had dinner at the only restaurant. Make reservations at the office at “Spit”. We also recommend the aircraft float trip over glaciers. We went in a 1929 Travel air on floats – saw 8 glaciers and small towns along the coast.
Haines is a small town on the coast and we used this as our departure point, where we ferried back to the lower 48. The road to Haines via Haines Junction was the greatest viewing road in all of our trip. You start in the Yukon, through British Columbia with the last 40 miles in Alaska. Total of 152 miles (4 hours) on a good road. We did have a little construction about 20 miles outside Haines. It was late August and the season was almost over. High season starts in May and ends in mid-August. Most campgrounds close about mid-September. This town had the cleanest and nicest campground with full hookups, but you were not allowed to wash or wipe down your RV’s or cars and the carwash in town was closed. However, parking at this campground was on beautifully kept grass. The highlight was going out to watch the eagles and bears. About 3 miles East of town at end of road (past ferry terminal) is Chilkoot River and lake. We went almost every night at dusk to watch the bears. Cruise ships dock almost everyday and take hundreds of passengers, by bus to see the bears and eagles. We took a water taxi from Haines to Skagway. It’s a one hour boat ride up the fjord. Beautiful trip to watch whales, seals and eagles.
Skagway is a real nice town, clean and has excellent train trip to a Canadian pass and back. Skagway can have up to five cruise ships in harbor at one time, and it can get crowded, so you should ask the water taxi operator when to travel, if you want to avoid the crowds. Skagway can also be reached by road from the Alaska Highway at Whitehorse. If you drive up and back you can take side trips either way. We did not travel the road, but heard it was OK to drive. There is no road between Haines and Skagway, so access is via the water taxi. It was truly a beautiful ride with high fjords, walls straight up from the water and some wildlife. The stores in Skagway are very trendy.
OTHER CITIES
FAIRBANKS: The city is modern, clean (downtown is under major construction and is very dirty). All shopping is essentially outside downtown area. The best trip was “Riverboat Discovery III” – about 4 hours and you get to see bush pilots, dog teams and old Chena Indian Village. It’s run like big ride at Disneyworld. Gold mines and a great drive to “Chena Hot Springs. Bring your swim trunks to bath in the hot pools ($8.00 per person). This road is where we saw about 12 moose along the road to the lakes at around 1300 to 1500. Golfing: They have the northern most PGA course in North America. Your score card even lets you keep track of the birds and animals you see. Fort Wainwright AAF lets anyone play their course and it’s beautiful.
TOK: First city you reach when driving in Alaska. It’s not much – a lot of dirt and dust with some shopping.
DAWSON CITY, YUKON: Should you go or not? The road from Whitehorse is paved – the U.S. side is not. About 160 miles with 110 miles unpaved. This highway is called “The Top of the World Highway” or “The Chicken Highway” or as most call it “The Road from Hell”. We stayed in Tok for a week (6 days to long) and watched caravan’s come in each day from Dawson City. This road causes the most damage to RV’s then any other road trip in Alaska. Dawson City is about the oldest (dirtiest) town and still has wooden sidewalks. Everyone we talked to said that Skagway was the same kind of town, but 100% cleaner. We stayed in Tok, using our 4 wheel drive dingy to drive the road – NOT a fun time. My recommendation; if you really want to see Dawson City, drive up and back from Whitehorse.
ALASKA MARINE HIGHWAY
Ferry service back to the lower 48 or as Alaskan’s say “going outside.” We decided before starting our trip to Alaska to “drive up and float back. We wanted to see the inside passage. It was the best decision we made. WOW, what a beautiful, easy way to get to the lower 48. The only place you can get on the ferry is Haines or Skagway. Haines is closest port for RV’s. The ferries with large doors are not allowed out into open sea. The drive to Tok, Alaska is about 350 miles. The route is to Haines Junction, on the Alaska Highway from Tok, then to Haines.
We took the ferry South on inside passage for about 36 hours to Prince Rupert with stops in Juneau, Wrangell and Petersburg. We did not get off. You can use water taxi from Skagway or Haines that goes twice a day – about 4 hours one way or you can plan to get off the ferry and stay until the next ferry. Ferries North and South run about every two to three days. (NOTE: Make reservations early, the spaces for RV’s fill up fast.)
We left Haines at 1800 Tuesday and arrived at 0700 Thursday. We got a cabin for two nights (You cannot stay in RV’s below deck). The cabins were clean, but small (bunk beads). Food was good – served cafeteria style. What a beautiful ride. It was the highlight of the whole trip. Food prices are not included in the price of the ticket, but are reasonable with sit down dinners costing about $9.00 each U.S. During one full day, we took pictures of wildlife along shores. Driving your RV on board was easy. They have good guides to make sure you don’t hit anything. I even turned around below deck and backed into a tight parking slot. My wife drove our towed vehicle on with the cars. Our fare included a stateroom (cabin for two) with bathroom. Our two adult fares, 40 foot motor home and a car was about $1580.00. 5th Wheels and trailers which cannot disconnect will cost about $250.00 more if over 40 feet.
We stayed in British Columbia, Prince Rupert for 4 days then to “BC Ferry” to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island – a 14 hour trip. Very nice, same size ferry (410 feet long). The cost this time was $510.00 without a cabin. Our ferry left Prince Rupert at 0630 and was in Port Hardy at 2100. We made reservations at the nearest campground, about 5 miles from dock, near town. We stayed 3 days to see area. The roads South are great – all the way to Victoria with “Buetchart Gardens”, city center and harbor. It took us two weeks to drive 300 miles.
After our travels on the island, we took the ferry to Port Angeles, Washington. From the center of downtown harbor in Victoria – about 1 ½ hours costing $100.00 U.S. , cash only. This included the motor home, car, and two adult passages. This then put us right into the “Olympic National Park,” then highway 101 down the coast to California.
NOTE: The Alaska Marine Highway can also be taken from Bellingham (North of Seattle) to Haines but it doesn’t stop anywhere between Bellingham and Prince Rupert. Final Note: If you really want to say you drove to Alaska (as we did), then go. But, take it slow, allow a lot of time. I would MISS Dawson City and the Artic Circle Road out of Fairbanks and FLOAT at least one way. If you don’t care about driving then fly or take a cruise. We enjoyed it, but won’t do it again.

CANADA’S ATLANTIC PROVINCES
We started our trip to the Northeast by traveling through New York, Niagara Falls, along Lake Ontario, the Finger Lakes (PennYan). Great back yards – wide and smooth. Lake George, Burlington, Vermont. (This was a beautiful location on the shores of Lake Champlain. Then North to Quebec and Quebec City. This was beautiful (old and restored), even better then Europe. People were very nice, but nothing was in English. All English signs have been removed. Even without signs we could easily read, we had little problems getting around. We stayed right across the river from the city on route 20. “KOA Quebec City” not bad, very near the bridge to down town and old town Citadel. We stayed 6 nights. Also saw the waterfalls 6 miles NE of town on Route 440.
We then drove Route 20 (also 132) around “Gaspe Cape”. This is the long route; it’s OK, but a very poor area down through New Brunswick. We wanted to see the the Cajun area. This is where the Louisiana Cajun cam from when the British shipped them to New Orleans. The mountain route and most used is Route 2 to Edmonds, Fredericton to Moncton. Very beautiful valleys and river edge drives (plus it’s shorter). We stayed in the Mocton area for 5 days. Mocton is a nice town with good shopping. Shediae is the lobster capital, but campgrounds are small and not very good. The best we found was “Murry Beach State Park located just before you cross the bridge to “PEI” (Prince Edward Island). This park is right on a hill, overlooking the bay – electric hookups, but no water or sewer. They do have a dump station and water fill. Food is in Mocton, 47 miles away, so bring food – Great view! The bridge is FREE to go over, but cost to get off. This is the same for the ferry. The bridge cost about $50.00 and the ferry $70.00 for motor home and car. We went over on the bridge and came back on the ferry to Picton, Nova Scotia. This saved us from back tracking and 200 miles of driving. We stayed at the “Holiday Haven Campground” (Good Sam) in Cornwall. It’s about 4 miles from Charlottetown and right across the bay. Nice campground, but ask for lower area near the waters edge. Upper area is near the swimming pool with a lot of kids. Very peaceful and centrally located. We stayed for a week and toured the whole island. If you visit all lighthouses, you get a ribbon from each, plus a certificate. On the North shore is Prince Edward Island National Park with many beaches. Another nice spot to stay is on East End (Red Point Provincial Park) – full hookups overlooking the gulf. Its only drawback is it’s far from shopping and food, but is very beautiful. Try the blue mussels – WOW are they great. All the harbors inlets grow them – about 99 cents a pound.
We stayed at Pieton N.S. after getting off the ferry (about 3 miles). We had our mail sent there. Campground is OK. The road is poor in the park, right on the bay, with lighthouse and great beach walking. “Harbor Light Trailer Park (Good Sam). The town of Pieton is nice. In the past they built sailing ships. We used this town as a base to tour New Glasgow area and shoreline. Our next stop was Baddeck on Cape Breton Island N.S. There is a bridge, but no ferry to the island. We stayed at Baddeck. Cabot Trail KOA (Good Sam). This became our base to tour Cabot Trail, Lake Bras D’or – a beautiful area. The trail starts about ¼ mile from the campground entrance. We took the trail North because we then stayed on the inside lane and not near the edge. However the roads are great and you can go either way. Baddeck is a nice little town with good restaurants and the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. It’s about 35 miles to Sydney and shopping (Wal Mart). A couple of nice campgrounds are near Sydney. One is near the bridge Arm of Gold Campground at Little Bras D’or has a beautiful view and grass lots.
If you can go to Cape Breton, don’t miss “Louisbourg” fortress National Historic Site – 15 miles South of Sydney. Here they have created a living city from the 1600. Have lunch at the local restaurant with soup and bread in pewter bowls. You can spend all day. There are some nice campgrounds in Louisbourg. We drove over from Baddeck. After Labor Day they shut down, but we were still able to tour Lake Bras D’or, picnicking on its shoreline.
Our next area that we enjoyed the most was Halifax and the shoreline Southwest. But before we went there we took a ferry to Newfoundland. Eight hours from North Sydney, N.S. To Port-Aux-Basques. A longer ferry goes to St. John taking 15 hours. We wanted to see Gros Morne National Park and Lanse Aux Meadows National Park, the town of Stephenville, Corner Brock, and Deer Lake are very modern with good roads. We stayed in Roeny Harbor-Gros Morne. We didn’t go all the way to St. Johns. It took us 10 ½ hours in stormy weather on the ride back.
We then drove to Martin’s River N.S., about 45 miles Southwest of Halifax. We stayed at Rayport Campground (Good Sam). It’s ok, along river and central for touring the coast line. Here you can have campfires and the river is pretty. One place we found while touring was Risser’s Beach Provincial Park at Petite Riviere. It’s right on the ocean, very nice park, but no hook-ups. However they do have a dump and water. We would drive Highway 3 through Mahone Bay, Lunenbune to Liverpool. Beautiful little town and harbor with restaurant over water. We went to Halifax a few times. We loved the casino on the waterfront and the citadel fort in central downtown. We also enjoyed a sailing cruise on “Bluenose II” from Halifax Harbor. There is a lot of WW II history in Halifax.
From Halifax, we went to Sussex, N.B. We used this as a base to visit Fundy National Park, Honewell Rock’s Provincial Park, St. John and Fredericton. We stayed a week for mail to catch up at the Pine Cone Campground in Sussex (Good Sam). It was a nice campground and the town was good for food shopping. Fundy National Park at Alma has beautiful sites, but Highway 114 between Fundy and Sussex was a little rough and hilly. St. Johns has a nice park on Partridge Island.
We returned to the U.S. on 3 September before Labor Day and stayed at East Port, Maine. Sea view RV was a nice place, right on the bay, looking across at Canada. We visited Roosevelt’s house and park on Campobello Island. The island has nice parks and walks. The greatest thing was the campground would cook lobster for us. We’d order two 2 pound lobsters for 1830 and then pick them up and have our evening meal at home on the water. Total cost $15.00 U.S.
From there we drove Highway 1, along the coast to Acadia National Park. This is a great area and Bar Harbor is a great place to have lunch or dinner. We spent a week and stayed at Narrows Too Resort (Good Sam). It was very nice and just before crossing over the bridge to the island. Trenton, Maine is just off the island. The roads are narrow and winding on the island. Also nice is Mt Desert Narrows Resort.
Then on to Bangor and through New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey following the color change South to the Smoky Mountains. It was a great trip. Our best spots that we enjoyed the most in Canada, where we plan on returning are; Prince Edward Island, cape Breton Island, N.S. and the area Southwest of Halifax.
If you decided to head this way, it’s a greatg area with good roads, campgrounds are better then U.S.A. (West) and we averaged $11.00 U.S. with the exchange rate at that time. Have a great time in your travels.

). Knowing that some member have already made this trip how did you make your travel plans? Are there some good books that can help with my planning for the trip to Alaska? How about web sites to explore, I have peaked at some MOC sites but am sure I've over looked other sites?
