We went to Alaska from Ohio in 2019. Made a 3 month trip out of it and should have made it longer. There's a lot of stuff to see on the way there and once you get there. Second the suggestion to get a Milepost as it is full of information on the Alaska highway and the Alaskan highways. We have a MHC 321 MK, 36 feet long and it did fine on the trip, with the exception of the factory Ranier tires. Well worth the trip and we want to do it again. Not sure how border crossings are right now, but all ours were on a Sunday, a coincidence and not planned, and went very quickly. Don't plan on high mileage days as the roads are slower, but we only had one road that was in really bad shape. Also ran into a heavy snow storm in BC in August, so be flexible with your plans. We camped in Tok, Fairbanks, Denali, Talkeetna, Seward, Homer, Anchorage, Glacier View and Tok again. Worst campgrounds for space were Denali and Anchorage. If you go to Denali, the campground in town is the worst for space. The worst road was Glacier View to Tok, and we avoided the Tok bypass because they were working on it, so it might be the better option now. By all means go. You won't regret it. Like I said at the start, it is well worth it. Just don't be shocked when you refuel in Canada and convert liters to gallons and loonies to dollars. Diesel was more than $1.25 per gallon higher.
