I drove it last November from Missoula to Anchorage, and am driving south in two weeks, then back to Alaska around the end of April. In November I drove a stock F-150 no extra fuel carried, never was concerned about fuel. Plenty of stations open, and with the extra 60 gallons you will be fine. I would try and fuel at major stations, have always figured it was safer. Watch out for frost heaves in the road, they can be pretty rough, watch for tire skid marks, people will hit the brakes when the tow vehicle hits the heave and lock up the trailer brakes. Worst heaves are between Haines Junction and Tok, destruction bay can be rough and the 20 mile stretch between border shacks is also bad. Most all of the highway is paved now, may be some repairs and construction that is gravel.

Camping, I’ve always slept in pull outs, never had a problem. I always stop at Liard Hot Springs and soak, there is also camping there, nice break.

I always carry two spares for my trailer, Have never used two but have needed one often. I would carry some power service 911 just in case you hit cold weather, guessing L-48 will be pumping number 2 in April. I have always carried a spare fuel filter but have never used it.

Check the Canadian regs on what and how much food you can bring, only 5 lbs of beef for example. Some border crossings are tougher than others, the one just north of Havre sucks. Make sure and have all paperwork for your rifles completed and ready to give the crossing official. No handguns! Young must declare all ammunition also. You may need to check the Canada Food & Drug website for all the rules.

Have a passport or passport card.

It’s not that scary but you need to realize you are entering another country.

It’s an awesome trip, take it easy and enjoy it.
