Traveling the ALCAN in Winter
My wife and I have traveled the ALCAN several times in the summer and twice by auto in the winter, but never in an RV in the winter. Our plan is to leave Alaska in early October and return in January...

Gasline antifreeze came in handy on our second trip. Motorhome would lose power on inclines, then go along fine on level ground. Eventually slowed to a crawl. Hubby was expecting the worst but I kept nagging about using the bottle of gasline antifreeze I had tucked away. He finally relented, and sure'nuff, after a few miles of running everything was fine. He bought another bottle of the stuff as we continued northbound through Watson Lake, but we didn't need it. Have used it since moving here though, as one of our cars seems to have an issue.
Oh, we also carried a piece of Styrofoam with a hole cut similar to a toilet seat. Comes in handy if you're using an outhouse at -40. Lift the seat up in the outhouse and lay down your Styrofoam in place of it, makes it much, much easier on your butt. :B
