GREAT ALASKAN HOLIDAY SPRING ADVENTURE 2013 IOWA/ALASKA

Also, the generator runs on gasoline and will not run if the fuel level is <3/8 of a tank. The frig and stove use propane. I believe that the frig is dual fuel and that if you plug in at a campground, it will operate with electricity. We always looked for campsites that had Wi-Fi.

Not sure about parking in Forest City. GAH can answer that one. We live in Tampa, but have family in Minneapolis, so we left our car in Mpls.

We did the Iowa-Alaska trip in 2012. Yes, the fuel tanks are full when you pick up the unit, as is the water tank. There is a pail, screwdriver, pliers, rags, etc. The unit is completely equipped for all normal traveling and light maintenance needs.

Anchorage GAH unit check-in was simple and hassle free.

Check out my wife Charlotte's blog. She did a fabulous job. All in costs with return airfare, fuel, campgrounds, dining out, incidentals, etc., was about $400/day for our 21 day trip.

That was easy.
Fellow RVers,

We have a 2014 reservation for the GAH Spring Adventure Package. Still doing research before submitting my deposit. After reading all your posts, it sounds like a great trip. Please help by answering some questions:
1. The RV must be equipped with everything needed for the trip - fresh water hose & regulator, sewer hose & fittings, electrical cord & 20/30/50 Amp adapters, leveling blocks. A broom, vacuum cleaner, 5 gallon bucket, cleaning supplies, toilet chemicals. Tools, spare tire and jack, emergency roadside reflectors. Correct??
2. Has anyone needed assistance for roadside emergencies, chassis (engine, transmission, etc.) repair, or coach repair? Is GAH good about resolving issues?
3. Is the gas tank and propane tank full prior to departure?
4. Am I correct that the generator runs on propane?
5. Has anyone driven to Forest City? If so, what did you do with your vehicle? Any storage available in Forest City?

Thank you,
Tom

We left Forest City on May 10th and today visited Denali National Park, some 3700 miles later. What a wonderful experience we have had; met amazing people along the way, saw beautiful landscape, hundreds of wild animals, and took over 2k pictures. We will turn in the RV on the 27th May and take the NCL cruise to Vancouver before flying back to Atlanta. I'm working on a trip journal and will share ASAP. I am so appreciative to those of you who shared your trip journals from the past as it helped us immensely in planning our trip. I hope all of the other GAH'rs from Forest City experienced a safe and enjoyable trip as we did.

Hi RV'RS:

The pizza place is Pizza Hut and they will deliver to your RV at the Rally Ground. You just have to give them your cell phone number, the row number your RV is in. They will stop at the end of the row. We ordered the individual pasta dishes and a liter bottle of Pepsi. The phone number for Pizza Hut is (641) 585-5010. They will also deliver "pizza", too! There are no other options in Forest City if you don't have a way to get to town. There is a Hardee's but it is about 2 miles away in town.

The excitement builds! It was snowing yesterday in Forest City!!!!

I had forgotten the pizza place - but their number was on our table when we got in the RV, so easy to get in touch with them.

RV'RS I telephoned "THE LODGE" in Forest City, lady told me their Restaurant would NOT be open until June. SO I don't expect anything there. She did say the convenience store across the street (assume across street from Lodge), and pizza place will deliver.

Can't help you on either of those questions. Location is across the road from the Winnebago factory.

We ask for a coffee maker and was hoping to make coffee the first morning before orientation. Do you know if they provide filters or what type coffee makers are provided? I can take some a couple for first morning.
Do you remember the address of the area where the motor homes are parked? I've found a couple of different addresses.
