I would recommend going up to 3/4 ton. Then either use your current tt or get your 5th wheel long enough before going to Alaska to give it a thorough shakedown and fix all the minor defects and weak spots before you go.
Then, dont be in a hurry. Slow down on frost heaves and construction zones and you'll be fine.
Our trip in 2016 was with a 2500 HD gasser pulling a 36' 5er. Sometimes it would have been nice to have a bit smaller trailer but it was not a problem to find sites to park.
It was a great trip, still looking at going back!
