Denali Highway trip report with photos

Well we are back with a camper again. Sold the Eagle cap and bought a 5th wheel, when that got totaled the wife and I both said we wanted our Eagle Cap back. Well we bought a 2015 Arctic Fox 990.

Our first weekend out was the 3rd through the 7th of July. We went to our normal 4th of July area the Denali Highway here in Alaska. This highway is around 130 miles long and about 100 miles of it is dirt. It's not a bad road, but can get a few pot holes (1000s per mile or at least it seems). Weather was great and temps hit into the 70's everyday.

Camper was awesome, everything performed up to and exceeded our expectations. We also was trying out a 150 watt Solar panel from Zamp Solar. The panel and the 30 amp controller worked great, and we never started the generator even once. We may not have used much of the lights but the fan ran most of the day along with a few other small draw items.

Here are a few of the pictures.

The new camper, not a great pic, but the only one I took of a side view.

Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday.

I enjoyed the photos; thanks for posting your Alaska adventure.

Q: what is that ATV I see in your photos (I don't know much about ATVs, but I do know that it isn't just a giant drink tray) ? And, did you trailer it with you throughout the Alaska trip?

Cheers,

it's a polaris ranger. It pretty much goes everywhere with us, on a 3 place snowmachine trailer.

That is a really nice location -- I think a few days out there was one of the best parts of my only Alaska trip - so far.


yes that is just an atv trail, the denali highway is a lot better than that. Didn't think about that until you mentioned it, thanks.
