2 wd vs 4 wd to Alaska?
We have just bought a new to us Lance camper 2013 9 ft 2 slides and have Dodge 2wd dually Diesel 2001. We are traveling to AK from Ut in August. Will we need 4wd?

"Need".....nope.
Will you be dropping the camper and doing some driving in just the truck? It might be worth having a 4WD in that case IF you already had a 4WD to bring. Certainly wouldn't be worth a purchase just for this trip.
Now if you want an excuse to get one... :C.....then Alaska is full of raging rivers, icy roads, and mud bogs that can only be accessed via 4WD.
In all seriousness, you won't need one for an RV trip up to AK. Equally seriously, I won't buy a vehicle in AK unless it's a minimum of AWD but that's for year-round living, not for a summer trip.
