BC has lots of pull offs. You will see some that are marked No Camping or No Overnighting. You can ignore the signs. No one has ever been asked to not catch sleep.
This will be a haul A$$ trip for you. I hope you have two drivers. And yes, the roads up north are 'good'..but that doesn't mean fast.

The trick there is to go SLOW..that or you'll bust something. Read this years Alaska thread on here...learn.
