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?

Thanks to everyone that responded.
I had an expereince once with my 2wd dually with limited slip on the rear wheels and a camper. We were in flagstaff Az. Woke up to 4 deg and everything frozen solid. Went from the campground across the road and "down"into a gas station. As I pulled out onto the side road which was very steep and immediately came to a stop for the traffic light. I told my wife that when the light turns green we are going to slip down the road we were on because it was frozen snow. Well guess what...yep we kept going when it turned green we did not slip one bit!!!
The fella behind me was in a 4wd truck apparently without limited slip and he did slip all the way down to the bottom of the road. 3500 lbs on the rear axle with limited slip seems to do the job.
