Be aware that your RV is unlikely to be built for an Alaskan winter.

Call you be a little more specific please. The holding takes will be heated. I'm sure there is mrudimentary

I am originally from new England and am familiar with cold weather and snow. I can't take the heat in Florida another year!

Someone had suggested I post and read the alaska page. I read the majority of all posts. I also searched Google "how to prepare your RV for an alaska trip" that gave me some ideas, they seemed rudeamentry. I may not have thought about the extra tires, (Mounted) and the likely damage your RV or toad could suffer because of the frost heaves and gravel. Carrying extra gas seems sketchy because of safety and storage, but seems logical.

Sounds like we have a lot in common. I'm from New England originally and live in Florida. I also miss cool weather and seasons.

I've done a little cold weather camping in my fifth wheel and the issue I had was with water. I had to fill my freshwater tank and completely drain the hose every few days. I usually dumped the waste tanks right after I showered because the water was still warm and kept the hose flexible. Make sure to drain the hose or it will freeze up.

Most RVs don't have insulation rated for much below zero. Water lines freeze and so will lines under the sinks unless you keep cabinet doors open at night. Plumbing exposed to the outdoors will freeze, too - like an outdoor shower.
