Helpful Ideas for Alaskan Travels

I'd suggest making sure the wheel bearings for those going to Alaska...on your trailer, are packed with grease prior to the trip! Had an incident with mine a few years back..on a Friday night, and there where no parts available until the next week, so we where stranded at the repair shop for 5 days! So, when bearings go, you possibly might even have to change the whole axle (which I did have to) thus making getting parts even more difficult. So, pack them wheel bearings before any long trip, as often they might go on you in mountainous terrain with no cities around. Also, having an AA or AAA membership is a plus as well, which I had for the vehicle, but neglected at the time of registration to get it for any pull trailer behind....so I paid over $400.00 to have my trailer on a tow truck for just over 20 miles!

Best of luck, and enjoy...as we'll be headed up that way in mid summer ourselves!
