Just wanted to give an update, I made it to Oklahoma safe and sound. It took us five long days of 15 hour driving. We had a few issues, my trailer brakes were not working 100% and we tried to get them fixed twice and I highly recommend fireweed RV in whitehorse they were great. Also we broke a leaf spring in casper Wyoming. Luckily it broke there in town and not in the AlCan. We replaced both back ones. It turns out they both had already broke off one of the springs each side before I bought it but I didn't see it. The one that broke on me was the big long one on driver side. We found a guy who was able to replace both springs and get parts in two hours.
The equalizer hitch I bought worked great and we had no sway at all and were in windy conditions at times. Truck and trailer did pretty good under some grueling conditions.
Glad you made it safe and sound. I was going to suggest you buy a spring and set of bearings before you leave but I was to late to post on this thread.
PS, sorry for your loss. Better times ahead for you I'm sure. Good luck! :)
