Yes, we had two flat tires just after entering the Yukon from the Chicken side. But that was due to road construction--rough grading using a D-8 with 6-inch chunks of sharp rock for a roadbed on the Alaska side. However, that construction has now been completed and is paved. The Yukon side used to be paved, but what is left is pretty bad in spots. And the portion from Tok to Chicken is all paved.
The part from Chicken east almost to the border is still gravel. There are some tight hairpins and sidehill roadcuts with steep drop-offs shortly after leaving Chicken. But, with your short motorhome and even with a toad, you should have no problem with either.
You may be able to do it all in one day if you start early after overnighting in Tok. We did it from Fairbanks, so we stayed overnight at a 30A electric site at the Chicken Creek RV Park. Interestingly, they generate a substantial part of their power from a large solar array (Chicken is not on any electric grid). We also visited the former Fairbanks gold dredge while we were there.
Great info! Still trying to figure out if we really want to go to Dawson City. Larry
