Way too early for the North with a big trailer. Take the Alaska State Ferry to Haines, but then you still have almost 500 miles to drive to Anchorage.

You could drive up without the trailer, but still have to face the cold and snow and the remoteness. Buy a trailer up there and sell it when you leave.
If you insist on going anyway, plan on stopping by the side of the road with no hookups when it is below zero. If that sounds fine, have at it. The gas stations are 100 miles apart. There are few RV parks and they will mostly all be closed.
