Diesel Availability, Dempster and Dalton Highways?
I'll be leaving for Canada and Alaska shortly and need info on diesel availability on the Dempster (Eagle Plains and Inuvik) and Coldfoot on the Dalton highway. I have a 2012 2500HD, so it must be good diesel. I have been on the Dempster before driving my '97 K1500, and gas is readily available, but never checked diesel. Comments on driving the Dalton would also be appreciated. I have heard plenty of horror stories, but I'm not driving the entire route. I'll take my 18' travel trailer to Coldfoot, stay a few days, and probably drive a little farther North with the truck alone. I could carry some cans along for additional range, but would rather not.

I'm usually not near the campground water source, so running a hose directly to the trailer usually doesn't work. I could be careful and find such a site, but I have other criteria when looking. The water thief would be handy if the faucet is not at a convenient height to fill the can and a short length of hose would help. It is small and easy to carry, so why not have one? Right now, I'm comparing Linky2 to the Walmart water can. Jim431Views0likes0CommentsFilling a Travel Trailer from a Community Water Source
Government campgrounds typically have community water faucets. I'm looking for a funnel or water container I could use instead of a hose to fill my trailer. Water is added to the trailer through an approx. 1 3/16" capped opening inside a small compartment. Jim3.6KViews0likes18Comments
