Tripalot, et al, it is a given that road conditions can vary from billiard-table-smooth to horrendous within a week or two after the last time the grader went through, but would you say the road conditions for the first 50 or 100km was reasonably indicative of the condition of the rest. We have a 35' class A that has been lots of places where class As weren't meant to go, but it definitely doesn't like lots of potholes or baddish washboard. Minor washboard is OK and we are never in a hurry, but comes a time when the effort of putting all the furniture fixing screws back in before it all falls off the walls makes it not worth the bother. Thought we might venture up part of the way and see how it goes before deciding yes or no. Seen all of Alaska that matters (to us) so happy to take a major detour into a new area.
Obviously there is some confusion about which highway is which and I'm very easy to confuse so the one I'm interested in is to Inuvik
