Lo Dave,
Linda and I opted for the Alaska Marine Highway (the Ferry) from Bellingham, WA to Haines, AK. It was a terrific trip. No wear and tear on the rig, about the same time as driving, we got a state room but could have pitched a tent in a large cabin, for no charge, which would have made the ferry and Alcan Highway trip about equal cost wise. We put dry ice in the freezer, the propane had to be cut off, and we took the cold stuff in rolling foldable coolers, ice machines are provided. You are able to prepare food but the cafeteria was good and not expensive. Google the Alaska Marine Highway for details and cost. We came back on the ferry also, it was a very pleasant and comfortable trip. See our article on Alaska trip in www.truckcampermagazine.com put skip bosley in the search box for more info. Reservations are recommended for spring time travel, we did not need them on return. They prolly are not necessary for a fall passage. I'm not sure if the ferry runs all the year. It is a very protected route not rough sea conditions.
love to all,
