Drive the gravel in the rain,the rain will keep the dust down.:)
Then you just have to pressure wash the camper!
We drove the Dempster Hwy. from Dawson to Inuvik, 750 km. Wet on the way up, dry on the way down.Had to pressure wash the back of the camper half way up so we could get into it, and again once we got to Inuvik. On the way South, nice and dry and the dust found its way in everywhere. We hung a blanket across the door on the inside and held the sides in with velcro strips the second day and that helped but there was still dust everywhere.
I installed that vee shaped weatherstrip around the door, and a big door sweep to try and keep the dust out. It helped to keep some out but we still vacuumed after driving some other gravel roads in the North.
