Your best bet would be to contact some of the RV rental agencies in Alaska and ask them that question. A year or so back, I saw an ad in the newspaper in Anchorage, online, or on Craig's List in Anchorage for one of the big rental companies looking for people to take some of their used RVs back south for the company to sell.
Last spring, one of the big rental companies in Anchorage sent up 150 new Class Cs from the factory here in the Lower 48. The used market in Alaska can't handle that many used rigs, that were replaced with the new ones, at one time, when several of the Alaska companies are doing the same, as well as military personnel rotating outside and needing to get rid of their RVs they bought while on their two year tour of Alaska.
It is very beneficial to the company if they can find drivers willing to take the used units south to the Lower 48 and pay the fuel costs to do so. Saves the rental company having to pay the freight to put it on a south bound barge to Washington.
I think it was Great Alaskan Holidays that had the ad out that year, believe it was in the fall time. I have never seen them advertise for moving them this direction here in the Lower 48. Many summer workers in Alaska are heading home in the fall so it works well for the rental agencies to send the used ones south.
