4ducksrus said:We too were planning on getting to Alaska in the near future...not sure if next year or the following. My DH is worried about taking our MH to Alaska. He's heard horror stories about the damage done to the paint of both the MH and the toad. Since many of you have gone up there in the past few years what are your thoughts about this? Heard somewhere that the roads have been improved??
Every year the roads will be different depending on the kind of winter they had to endure. We found the most reliable info on highways to be the truckers at the fuel stops who had just come from the direction we were going. We found bumpy roads and the secret was to go really slow. You can't do the speeds you usually do. Bumpy road speeds for us were between 20 and 35 mph. So plan routes accordingly and allow plenty of time. Most stretches of bad road only lasted a few miles. I woud never avoid Alaska because of roads.
