Great advice, just beginning planning hopefully for May-June 2021. Just reading your post is getting me excited. We are looking at a used 18 footer, unfortunately it is a single axle, but the price is right and the layout is good for us.

Driving to and sight seeing in AK is about the best application I can think of for a smallish single axle TT.

I can't stand getting into these threads because I WANT TO GO BACK! He!!, I'm excited for you!
Generator, yes, spare tires, yes, fishing gear, bring ALL of it!
Plan campgrounds for the crowded areas, like Homer, Denali, etc. The rest you an pretty much wing it and park wherever.
Not literally and it's nice to hit some NF campgrounds, but it's not intimidating once you realize you're in Alaska and there ARE roads and people speak engrish and you can buy gas and don't have to shoot a caribou for dinner and a seal for lamp oil!
