To toad or not to toad, that is the question

We drove a 25 foot RV to Alaska several years ago. What you may miss is the opportunity to drive the toad on some dirt roads that may have points of interest. For example, we could not go to Dawson City in the Yukon because it is a rather long drive on dirt. Our RV just would not handle on dirt roads if there were any "washboard" areas to cross.

Otherwise, I think our trip would have been pretty much the same if we had a toad along. As you do, we rely on bikes for some shorter trips near the campground.

I would disagree with Jim on this point. We also have a 24ft and did cross the top of the world highway. 10 years, 50k miles, western US and Canada and Alaska. We have been on far worse, than the Top of the world highway

I have never seen the need for a toad, and I think that would be especially true on the Alcan. ( not much to see, off the main roads, unlike the lower 48)

As for wash board roads, very easy, SLOW DOWN. At the end of the day a class c is a ford van. They are just not all that fragile
