RV Travel Is About Doing Things You Never Thought You Would!
In this episode, we take on three major highways: the Klondike Highway, the Top of the World Highway, and the Taylor Highway. These are some of the worst roads we've experienced but man, do they offer some killer views. We also share our time in Dawson City, a historic mining town that had its heyday during the Klondike Gold Rush in 1896. It's now famous for something else, the SourToe Cocktail- a shot of whiskey with a human toe- and you bet we tried it!

How To Balance the Good and the Bad on the Road!

Over the years, we've learned that RV life is all about balancing the good and the bad. As we continue our journey on the Alaska Highway, we find another amazing hot spring to soak in. However, our truck camper has been sliding, causing the whole thing to lean sideways. Being in the remote Yukon poses a problem for finding parts, but we were able to MacGyver a solution and hit the road again! B...

    There aren’t parks in every state and the conditions of many are really poor. Amenities and facilities are often dramatically different and haven’t been maintained. Roads are horrific in some with potholes that will literally swallow your vehicle/trailer wheels.

    The drinking on the long weekend was probably implemented due to young partiers. Just takes 1 to ruin it for all, most likely been damage to the campsite. The legal drinking age in Alberta is 18, most of the other provinces are 19.

I loved Canada myself living in Michigan we went there quite a bit. To different parts like Ontario, Toronto and other cities but can’t remember them. Can’t wait to see more video of Alaska.

Cost of campgrounds and hotels. Cost of the activities you did. Agree change the negative title, I almost didn't click. Park entrance fees? Sales tax? Best way to fly to that location? Detroit? How much to rent the electric bicycles? More meal / restaurant reviews.

    Tank Tune-Up is on it's way - We've been FT for 4 years now and tried lots of tank additives - just happily finished a major test of Liquified (haven't dumped our tank in 8 weeks because of where we are parked) in upper 90's so the bar is set high, but decided to test Tank Tune up and see how it compares - We will be another 6 weeks at our current spot and temps are usually upper 90's -the low 100's those weeks ... I'm looking forward to seeing how Tank Tune-Up compares and holds up next to what we've been happily using for the past year now. Only reason I'm trying it is because I saw the time, research and care you put into your truck camper build project and figured if you put that kind of research and work into this, it's got a good chance of being the best in the market. Best wishes!

    We were in Alaska the first part of July through the latter part of Aug in 2023. I knew about the 23 hrs of broad daylight while we were still at home, and thought about a sleep mask, tried it, claustrophobia made me ditch that idea after about 15 min. Opted for reflextic for the windows. It was a game changer. While hubby can sleep in broad daylight, I'm the exact opposite, and the total darkness totally worked. I agree, you lose track of time when it stays light all the time. We didn't take the "Top of the World Highway", we were worried about time since we only had a total of 2 months from start to finish...we live in east central Missouri.

    You really have to decide how you camp and if you’re going to get value from your purchase. What works for me is buying an annual zone pass, currently I paid $520 in 2024. I chose the southwest which gives me all the TT parks in California, Az, Nv and Colorado. I can easily add more zones as needed or not. I can opt out of buying the pass for a particular year or purchase it later in the year if I have other travel plans that would limit my use of the annual pass for that year. It’s totally worth it to me, over the cost of a full membership, which still requires a yearly maintenance cost. The booking window is only a max of 60 days out, but that has not been a problem for me and the way I travel. Happy camping!

    Beng from Tennessee and holders of a concealed carry permit, my wife and I were scrutinized closely when we did a day excursion to Canada. Questions of firearms obviously came up. We told them all firearms we had on the trip were secured in our camper in Montana. They advised us that we would be subjected to a “declaration validation procedure” which is a nice way of saying the truck would be searched. They did their search and we were on our way after about 45 minutes. As others have said, “when in Canada, you follow Canadian laws”. I will say that the border officials were very nice and accommodating to us and our to dogs during the process. They were doing their job….
