Advice on taking an Amerilite 21MB to Alaska
Hello Friends!! We have a 2004 Amerilite by Gulfstream light weight tag-along. We wish to travel from SC to Alaska next summer with this camper. Last year we did the West coast without any problems...

I will take another look at upgrade on the axles. Would E-Z Flex system really help? I have not really looked at that system. Last year, after taking measurements and getting some advice from the Forums I determined that the wheel wells on this trailer were not large enough for an axle upgrade or 14" wheels.
Back in 1971 when I was 17 my Dad took all four of my family up the Alcan in his '66 F250 with a truck camper and pulled a utility trailer with two dirt bikes on it. Because that utility trailer did not have an axle up to the challenge it kept bending and due to the road heaves in Alaska it finally broke. I realize that that old Alcan Hwy was all gravel and much rougher but it was the heaves on the paved roads in Alaska that dealt the death blow to that trailer. We had it welded and patched up but it did teach me the importance of not overloading axles...thus these inquires. I love this Forum as I always get good help and advice!
