Bud, welcome to the Forum. If you are thinking Vancouver/Alaska and return in 14 days, plan on arriving and just turning right around again. You can do it, but it'd be no fun at all and seriously, it'll take you a week in each direction. ok ok..maybe 5 days, flat out.
It's a long ways and you wanna stop and see stuff. If I might make a suggestion? If 14 days is what you have...head out, enjoy the drive..maybe check out the road to Bella Coola from Williams Lake...drive as far as you go in seven days and figure out from there, which way to get home. You can go home via the Peace, down thru the Rockies and so on...and have just a great great time. I'd say do it in June too..come July/August, the roads are full...kids, you know. And..if you like colours...do it in September, even.
If you just have to do Alaska, maybe look at flying up, rent a vehicle and so on. Take 10 days and have a blast.
