Planning a trip to Alaska late summer 2027. I would like to photograph Brown bears while up there. I have been looking at packages but really do not have a feel for the best options when you balance experience/cost. Do any of you have experience on this you can share?

Hi, we’re new to the forum and just waiting out the Alaska winter to be able to use our E23 that we picked up in Chilliwack last August. Hit 10 states in a very quick trip before returning to Alaska last summer. Just wanted to get online before the season starts and say “hi!”

In 2027, my wife and I are hoping to take a trip to Alaska but in researching various rv parks, I've noticed most of the parks that I've looked at only have 30amp service. We acquired our Newmar New Aire last year and have taken a couple of long trips but we've always stayed at parks that...

We are doing Alaska again with return through Redwood country. How bout Yall ?

I am having a problem getting TW to route my trip properly into Whittier, AK. I am coming back from Valdez, through Anchorage, to Seward. I want to divert to Whittier for 3 days on the way from ANC to Seward. But TW keeps adding a routing across the water from Valdez to Whittier. I've tried...

Wife and I are now fully retired and ready for more extended trips. Alaska is #1 on our list. Tell us about your Alaska trip. What areas did you visit? What route did you take? Go alone or with a group? Favorite places or camping areas? Favorite excursions? Any dry camping or boondocking? etc...

We decided this will likely be our last RV so we placed the order for exactly the colors and options we wanted and none of the fluff we didn't need for our 2-4 day trips (other than driving it back to Alaska) 36SB Valencia Atmos exterior with Wilmington decor package and Lakewood cabinets Only...

I'm curious what spare parts do you keep on hand for your motorhome? And if you were about to embark on a long trip to remote areas, perhaps an Alaska trip or something similar.... what spares would you carry with you? My theoretical list so far Items to always carry: - fan-clutch (or an...

My wife and I are thinking of driving to Alaska next summer, from our home in Idaho at least to Haines. We‘ll tow our smallish 5th-wheel and camp along the way. Most likely we’ll head north to Dawson Creek, then take the Alcan Highway to Haines Junction. Maybe we’ll go to Delta Junction...

We are heading to Alaska next summer and want to spend as much time there as possible. When is the earliest we should plan to drive into go? Leaving from Montana, driving a 45 ft coach towing a Jeep

How about it guys? Tell us all about your trip this summer.... roads, weather, crowds, experiences...... the best and the worst!

Be very interested in hearing who has made the trip in an ORV from the lower 48 to Alaska. When did you make the trip? What model of ORV and year? How long were you on the road? How did your rig preform? Definite bucket list for me. Current rig a 2024 25RDS pulled with a RAM 3500 Gas. Happy...

We just completed our second drive from Vermont to Alaska. Reservations : you don’t need to them . Except for the very busiest weekends like 4th of July,etc , we simply arrived at campgrounds early , generally by 3 . We can use hookups in our pickup camper but don’t require any. In a pinch, we...

Hey all, So I will be moving from AZ to Anchorage AK next Spring. I'll be living in my '22 Entegra Anthem for about a year while building a home. The rig will be under a metal roof but still exposed to the elements on the sides. At least the snow will stay off the roof. I've camped in cold...

We took our first trip to Alaska in May/June this year as a "once in a lifetime" trip and now we are planning next year's venture. We have family in Anchorage so that is our landing/launching pad for the actual trip. We took the ALCAN on the way up to Tok and then to Anchorage. On the way...

For those driving up to Alaska this summer, how are you doing on your trip? Roads? Weather? Campground closures?

Fire has closed the Alaska Hwy Check before you go to ALASKA!!!!! Sorry if posted in wrong place but wanted to get it out asap

Hey Guys. My wife and I are considering a trip to Alaska for the summer of 2026. Just trying to get our ducks in a row with a few questions. 1. Would you recommend going solo or with a tour group? 2. If a tour, which company would you recommend and why? 3. If solo, what would you recommend to...

Good day: I have not seen too many posts this year on this subject so I thought I would ask again. I think I have reviewed about every post about Alaska I could find plus lots of time on Youtube. I am the proud owner of a 2018 Tiffin 45OPP. We are planning to take it to Alaska this year but in...

SO the Wife turns to me and said she would like to do and Alaska trip. so leaving from the BC interior how many places can I actually see by driving and how long do you need. I was looking quickly on google yesterday and it seams some coastal towns you have to get to by ferry. are they...

If you're coming to Alaska this summer keep informed on the possibility of Mt Spurr erupting. It's unlikely that an eruption would impact all of Alaska but past eruptions have spread ash fall over large areas of South Central Alaska including Anchorage, Mat Su Valley, Kenai Peninsula and...

We are planning on heading up to Alaska for the summer of 2026. Our daughter lives there so we want as much time there to visit and also explore. Looking for help on timing. When is the earliest to cross the border and the latest. Our dates are totally open and flexible. Also, looking for...

I recently retired and promptly purchased a new Thor Compass 24KB with the intention of spending time each spring and fall traveling to the lower 48 for fun, travel, and adventure with my lovely wife of 41 years and our faithful beagle. We will certainly use it often for camping in Alaska during...

I am planning on taking my fifth wheel to Alaska this year and with all the stuff going on does anybody think I might have trouble crossing the border. I sure hope not as I’m getting a little old to go another year

Alan and I spent the summer of 2024 in Alaska, and I just recently published my final blog post in the RV ALASKA series on Reflections Around the Campfire. This last post – “Alaska by the Number$” – might be helpful to anyone trying to budget for a similar RV trip, even though travelers in 2025...
