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...

Far too much concern is made of the roads for a trip to Alaska. Yes, there are some frost heaves between Destruction Bay & the Alaskan border and then again occasionally in Alaska but as others have said, slow down. I found the roads to be good on my trip in 2016, much, much better than 30 years ago. There are modern towns along the way, nice grocery stores everywhere. I only experienced bad mosquitoes in one place, a state campground south of Delta Junction. By all means go. Never experienced a rock chip, flat tire, trouble of any kind on my two trips to Alaska. Two of the most worthwhile roads in Alaska for me were Hwys 8 & the road to Kennecot, were rough (but more than worth it). If going to Kennecot I would advise leaving the camper at the RV Park near the Chitnia airport. The scenery around Skagway, Haines, Valdez, Kennecot, Homer & Hwy 8 was especially spectacular to me. Allow time to enjoy it all.
