Looking for motorhome to travel to Alaska suggestions?

I just bought a 24’ class C with dinette slide. It’s the perfect size for 2 of us and very easy to drive and maneuver as well as a good towing capacity. (7500 lbs)
A slide will give you more room when parked but sometimes much less when it’s in.
For just 1 person and dogs, a non slide would be fine without any worry of issues of it not working.
If you want to stay on the shorter side, I narrowed my choices down to the Winnebago 22R, Forest River Sunseeker 2290 and Fleetwood Tioga 25K.
I decided on the Sunseeker and love it. Even with the slide in there is plenty of room to move around. It also has large tank capacities and you can’t beat the Ford V10 and 6. Speed transmission.
Good luck.

Thank you for your post. I am an army of 1 since my husband passed. So I am looking for the least problematic type of motorhome. I don’t need a lot of room just a bed big enough for me and 2 dogs.

I am getting very close to buying my first and only motorhome. I am planning on full timing in it and go to Canada and then Alaska. Should I get one with no slide outs to help maintain inside temperature?

I would never get MH with slides,too many potential problems and unecesary if youre alone.
I lived in TC quite comfortably and imagine that any MH would be plenty comfy even without slides.

I am researching my numerous options to the tenth degree so that I don’t make a huge monetary mistake. I have been recovering from a severe fall and just now starting to walk again. Everything was put on hold. I will look at the various sites as mentioned and heed their advice. Thank you.

Look at www.rv-dreams.com they are currently travelling in Alaska with friends. Both have Class Cs with slideouts.

Also www.keepyourdaydream.com travelled through Alaska in a travel trailer with slideouts.

is one of my favorites

As far as durability and being well built, It is near the top of the list.

A month ago you were looking to buy a 5er and now a MH. Without a budget and # of people we are just guessing at what you should buy. Heating and cooling is normally not a problem.

Alaska is the US.
The weather is much different than the Lower 48.
I almost froze to death in Alaska on August 31 at the top of Chilkoot Pass.
I worked in SE in 150 inches of rain and wore wool long underwear every day even in July.
The Interior gets warm in summer, but it starts snowing by Labor Day.

Good advice above. Summertime travel in Canada and Alaska is the same as the US.

Great place to spend the summer until Sept.
I knew a guy that bought a Sarenghetti MH with a Cummins diesel, but it had no glow plugs. Watch out for things like that.
A medium to smaller MH is easier to buy fuel for and easier to heat.
A diesel is worth considering if you are planning to travel 5,000 miles.
