Senior plus 30' 5th wheel

I have wondered how many seniors out there would take a 5th wheel to Alaska and spend 4 or more months up there. At the present time all I have is a 30' 5'ver and I have debated taking it up there to see the seeming last wilderness area of the US.

I'm not sure if you think a 30' 5th wheel is too small or too large for the trip.

However, it is neither too small or too large. Folks travel to Alaska for an all-summer trip in everything imaginable - from a tent and motorcycle, bicycles, tiny RVs and huge bus RVs. It's really not difficult - just a long trip.

Also, I'd say the majority are retirees. We did it at 70 yr. :)

Go for it. It's a trip of a lifetime!

All you need in preparation is the 'Milepost' for history and maps and Mike and Terri Church's book 'Alaskan Camping' which includes Canada and the Yukon, also.

Go to the top of this forum and there's a 'Sticky' of Alaska Hints. It's worthwhile to read it for ideas on what to do, were to eat, roads, etc.
