   While it has been a while since my family did it with a camper ('68 and '70) my last trip up via vehicle was 6 years ago.  The trip is much easier these days than it was way back when.  The entire length of the Al-Can is paved with one 20-mile gravel road exception so that folks can "remember" the way it used to be.  There are plenty of places to get gas & supplies, good campgrounds for overnight stays, and just generally sight-see during the trip.  You do a good amount of up & down hilly driving so making sure your TV is in good condition before leaving is a must.  

It really is a great trip, and one that I would recommend you do if you can!

	Haven't done it myself but we will in the next 10-15 years. From what I've read the trip is much easier than it was just 20 years ago.

	Has anyone traveled to Alaska with their r-pod? My husband would like to do that next year. We have friends doing that this year, but they have a huge motorhome (nicer than my house). I am not sure about going to Alaska with our pod. We have only been on two overnight trips with it so far, but plan on a couple more before the end of summer. He would really like to go to Alaska, but I am hesitant. If others have done it and everything went fine, I would say let's go. Thanks for any input you may have. - good or bad!
