Dempster Highway--Where to park my trailer?
I'm planning driving the Dempster this summer, but I don't want to subject my travel trailer to all that abuse. So where can I park it that's relatively safe for 3-4 days?

If I recall correctly the worst of the black gravel (and sharp shale) is north of the midway Eagle Plains stop, the Richardson Mtns - roughly from there to the river crossing. Past posts have mentioned that a tire repair man in Fort MacPherson does a brisk business.
If you don't want to go all the way, or don't have time, the drive the Tombstone Mountain Campground (72kn) or Engineer Creek (193km) would still give a good taste of the road.
Don't forget that if you are heading west to Alaska, you have another good stretch of gravel road across the Top of the World.
There's another stretch of road in southern BC that's known for its tire cutting gravel, the Highline above Anderson Lake - a scenic alternative to the Duffy Lake Rd between Whistler and Lillooet.
