I already had this fancy plan for a 9 week long trip from Seattle to Alaska and back in August-September 2015, but looks like it's not going to happen. I checked and rental prices for RV's during that...

Black Ice:
One other issues is in the spring ( as well as fall and winter) when the sun does come out it will melt the snow banks beside the hwy and in some locations the water runs onto the Hwy and then when the sun goes down at Dusk it freezes and you get black ice, which can be a bear-cat if you’re not expecting it.
That ice will stay in the shaded areas all night long until the next day waiting for some unsuspecting driver and it will stay there until the sun hits it or a sand truck comes by and sprinkles his wears. . We have a “special corner” on Hwy around here that catches unsuspecting people every year as the sun doesn’t get back to melting that ice, until just before the sun goes down, so for a few weeks every spring the tow trucks make a killing on that one corner.
