I agree w/Judy's assessment re. roads. Expect an adventure because it is. Drove Cassiar Hwy. (Rt. 37) north and it's 40% gravel. Steep downgrade (8% on gravel) south of Dease Lake is followed by sharp 20 mph turn across a bridge! Ran into serious re-construction etc. along Kluane Lake and around Haines Jct. when we came south. Worst road surface was Tok Cutoff coming up from Valdez. 10 mph and lots of weaving to avoid potholes. Take your time and you're OK, but like Judy said, slow down if there are gravel or bump signs...they aren't kidding! If it rains, and it does, the rig is muddy. If it's dry, dust everywhere. Part of the adventure?!
"Top of the World Hwy" (Dawson City to Chicken, AK) is a matter of choice and RVer comfort. Talked to many people who did it and said never again. Going east to west the US portion is all steep gravel, windy, w/dropoffs on passenger side! 10 mph at best. We skipped it and drove up on a day trip from Dawson City to the top. Others loved Chicken! West to east might be better route.
