No, I haven’t been associated with any caravan.
We have been impacted by them on our multiple trips to Alaska. After speaking with some of those in the caravans, it was apparent that the intense itinerary and need to make it to the next stop was wearing on them.
We have been told that campgrounds were full due to the caravans. They book the spaces way in advance. We have run into blockages at the campgrounds due to caravans waiting in line. Fueling stations blocked.
Most of the caravans are usually 20+ rigs and often there are several there at the same time. Have a breakdown that can’t be fixed quickly and you will be most likely left behind. Catching up is up to you.
Sound like fun? Pay your $10000 and be herded around like sheep.
