Any limit as to RV length on the Alaska Ferry
Planing a 2019 Alaska trip and wanted to be sure we can get on the ferry pulling a 5th wheel that is about 35 ft long?

I went to AMHS website just to see the current ferry rates. I input a 30' motor home and a 13' toad plus a cabin for 2 seniors (us!) from Bellingham to Haines with no other stops and a mid-July 2018 sailing date. The cost was $5500 one-way.
I agree with the others about the ferry loading crews. They are experts at cramming as many vehicles onboard as possible, but the tides can hamper even them at some ports. We were behind a seriously overloaded Class B with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier at Skagway and the crew had to build a ramp with timbers to finally get them onboard. Took 15 minutes to load them and less than 3 to load our truck and trailer.
