3,676 miles one way per Google Maps for our Fleetwood Excursion 39S.
We're in Anchorage, AK and we bought it in Boulder, CO off of Craig's List. We started on it while at home, then flew to PV for three weeks and had no phone or internet where we were so the seller thought we weren't interested any more. When we got back to the states and had cleared Customs I called him and we finished negotiating on it. Flew home and took care of the finances between the credit unions.
We flew down to Boulder a couple weeks later for the weekend, did the inspection and he spent four hours showing us everything. My brother was with us, we jumped in and we were in Vancouver in 27 hours. Parked it at his place and caught the plane home. It was too early in the spring to bring it up the AlaCan yet.
Several weeks later flew down again and 99 hours later after leaving his driveway in Vancouver, we were sitting in our driveway in Anchorage. Kept it Alaska for a little over a year while I retired and then took it south where it stays. We usually park it someplace in the west, but in Feb we're headed east with it. We find someplace to store it that Alaska Airlines flies in and out of.
This summer, I drove the truck from Anchorage to Couer d'Alene, ID and bought a TT for use in Alaska since we don't keep the DP up here. That was 2,372 miles one way. Took me 64 hours to make it down the highway. Had a little over 6,500 miles on the truck before I make it home.
