We are planning on driving up mid-May of 2015, first time going to Alaska and first time RV’ing. We are hoping to rent an RV from either Great Alaskan Holidays (Forest City Iowa) or ABC Motorhomes (Elkhart Indiana). Both have a one way special, pick up a brand new RV from the factory and drive it up, decent rates. Saw some others but they had horrible reviews so we plan on sticking with them. The Milepost is great, been going through it planning places to go. Unfortunately we only have 16 days for the trip but we just want to drive a get a glimpse of everything then go back and really explore. I figure if we do the long days to get to Dawson Creek, then we can slow down, figuring it will take 7 days to get up there.
Gas can be a concern but I figure it balances out sleeping in a motel, different bed every night, dragging luggage in and out. I’d rather pay a little extra or boondock and be able to relax and enjoy the drive then worry about a motel in the middle of nowhere!
