Hey all, new member here! So my family and I will be moving to AK in March and we will be driving there traveling through BC and YT. We have a 2013 Ram 1500 and a 30ft TT. I have done a few things to my truck that will be road worthy for the travel. Any ideas for the trailer other than tires which I have 2 complete spares for? We will be traveling from AZ to central valley CA visiting my family before the trip North! We will be traveling I-5N all the way to WA. Once we get into BC to start the GOOD travel does anyone recommend/advise anything for us first timers? We have planned out our trip (hope it's good) we'll be traveling the cassair hwy (boston bar, quesnel, dawson creek, ft. nelson, watson lake, whitehorse, beaver creek, glenn highway, anchorage) Any recommendations/advise will be great!

That route isn't the Cassiar, it's the Alaska Highway. You don't mention winter tires, but you will almost certainly hit snow.

Yes, apologies it is the Alaska Highway. I have BF Goodrich A/T KO tires on my truck. Is there specific winter tires for a trailer? I went to my local RV sales and they did mention to get a GT tire. We will definitely have plenty of food as I do not want to stop and buy snacks or spend unnecessary money at restaurants or fast food since we'll have the trailer, save money where we can.
