First, perhaps the moderator could move this to the Canada/Alaska forum.
You didn't say 'when' in spring. Most RVers travel around the 3rd week of May and still encounter closed campgrounds, fuel stations, snow, ice, etc.
We drove 50-150 miles/per day because we wanted to experience the whole trip. It costs a lot of money to drive there and you don't do it often so make the best of it. You will be limited in the many awesome attractions if you go early in spring. Things won't be open.
Fairbanks, to us, is not a destination. I hope you wouldn't rule out the Kenai Peninsula, Homer, Seward, Valdez, Skagway and the wonderful areas in the Yukon and Canada.
I was going to say the same about Spring travel. Spring down here in the lower 48 doesn't mean the same as spring up there in Alaska. June in California means warm and sunny days, but I once went to Vancouver, Canada in June and it was really cold and raining and there was still snow falling in the high country, and Vancouver isn't all that far North.
