My wife and I are doing the trip to Alaska this year. I'm try to decide about batteries and solar for the trip. Part of the equation is how many days with out being in a campground with hook ups. For those that have made the trip were you hooked up every day, every other day. every 3-4 days, etc.? I will have a generator along so I would never be without power but peace and quiet is appreciated by everyone.

The first and only time I made the trip, I was "hooked up" only a few times through all the overnight stops, there and back. My little generator kept all the electrics in fine shape. Regarding peace and quiet, run the generator while on the road, not at the campsite. Once at highway speed, the wind noise was such that I couldn't hear the generator running in the truck bed only a few feet away.

Problem I ran into was finding dumps and drinking water. Two of the provincial parks I spent the night at had their water pumps locked out, and the dump area blocked off.
