I have been in contact with a couple of friends that are driving to Alaska now in similar rigs. Just before Tok, one experienced damage to the rig, and a bent frame. The other one had broken leaf springs and 2 blown tires. Roads are a mess in certain areas.
Thank you for all the great information shared here. It sounds like we are going to rethink this year's trip and either fly next year or rent a smaller rig. I am not sure I can drive 30mph for 1000s of miles.

That's unfortunate. And I wouldn't judge by the issues your friend's had. There are a multitude of reasons why those things could have happened and not a precursor to you having problems.
Heck I average more windshield damage driving around Seattle that 2 years in AK and never popped a tire.
But yes, if you don't have the patience to slow it waaay down with a monster sized camper like that, then it will be frustrating for you.
