As stated, use the AMHS to get your RV to or from SE towns....
...but in any case, don't miss SE Alaska. The ratio of effort to Spectacular is better in SE than in many parts of Alaska.
In many parts of SE, just being in the town (or a 10-15 minute drive) provides truly spectacular scenery to say nothing of taking a small boat excursion or flightseeing trip where scenic fjords and coastal glaciers appear almost instantaneously.
If one can, hit SE on the shoulder seasons (i.e. May or September) without the throngs of tourists. I've always found SE to be much more laid back than Los Anchorage or even Squarebanks....the notable exception being Juneau during the legislative session.
If one has money and time to burn (although it doesn't take much of either), it is an interesting experience to take the Alaska Airlines milk run from K-town (Ketchikan) to Juneau......a couple of those legs involve flying the 737 like a supercub at about 8 - 10, 000 feet, dodging mountains and so forth.
