Consider doing it without the toad. The itinerary you have laid out involves driving the RV just about every day. For 99% of the things you apparently want to do, you can probably reach them without having to drag a toad along.
I was thinking the same thing. Moving that fast you may as well plan to move every day in the main vehicle. Only sit still two nights in one spot if you are somehow way ahead of schedule.

You're overthinking a bunch of this.
First, it's AK. 80% of the people on charter boats are tourists and a lot of them have RVs parked everywhere. Second, Homee isn't the only spot to go halibut fishing.
Third, I know you say you love driving, but pencil out the cost of flying to ANC, renting a C for a few weeks and flying home vs buying a superC and trip costs from the east coast. Plus you'll spend a lot less time driving and more vacationing.
