Fifth wheel or truck camper for Alaska trip
I am trying to decide what would be the best type of RV to take on an Alaska road trip. My two options would be my 30' fifth wheel or short box truck camper. I have never traveled to the far North (...

Just returned from Alaska last summer. We took a fifth-wheel and enjoyed the extra room and space to put stuff. At 30' you can fit into 97% of all the spaces in the parks, and 85% of all boondocking situations. The extra water and holding tanks will allow you to sit somewhere and fish for a few more days. And with the fishing so great, you will need space to put that freezer full of fish. The truck camper will put you anywhere, but you will have to make more stops for supplies. A lot of people will come to Alaska with the truck camper towing a boat. They put extra batteries and inverter in the boat for the freezer. Good luck. There is so much information on this forum, plus all the books.
