2gypsies would like some more info on Alaska, and anyone else with tidbits of wisdom also. At the government campgrounds, are there water and dump stations? How easy is it to maneuver in Anchorage? We are TT people, first time with a MH, rented from GAH. Sounds like they are reputable. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Couple of points on "....maneuver in Anchorage?"
- If you're passing through Anchorage on the way to somewhere else, Anchorage is no better nor worse than any number of similarly sized towns; No interstate beltways run "around" Los Anchorage, but there are some major arterials that will allow you to transit through town OK;
- If you intend to see and/or spend time "in" Anchorage, suggest either taking a cab or otherwise not using the MH to get around Anchorage, particularly downtown. Yes, it can certainly be done; Yes, lots of folks do it; Yes, there are places (public parking lots, Wal-Marts, etc) to park a MH for a while
.....but if it were me, I just wouldn't do it. FWIW, last week (I was home for 2 weeks), when I went "downtown" in Los Anchorage, I elected to drive the Jeep Wrangler rather than the Chev 2500 Pickup just because the Wrangler was less of a PITA to maneuver around town...and that was in the winter time without hordes of tourists.
Suspect others will have differing views and anything can work, but for this nearly-lifelong Alaskan and denizen of Los Anchorage, I'd suggest avoiding downtown Anchorage with the MH: there's better options.
