North to Alaska - The Great Adventure!

Hello all you fellow campers and RV'ers. I am looking for your feedback.

Around this coming July, 2010 (I know a while from now), I will be driving up to Anchorage for a 2 week vacation. It will be myself and my trusty Black Lab Cooper. I'll be hauling my 28' fifth wheel, departing from Portland, Oregon (our home).

I've never been to Alaska before, and wanted to start my semi-retirement off with a bang. Can any of you tell me of your adventures there? What should I do to prepare for the trip? What should I expect on my roadtrip adventure? Any wonderful RV parks along the way I should know about?

What about the pitfalls I should avoid? Any rookie mistakes I could prevent? I plan on driving around 400-500 miles a day up, and then take my time heading back to Portland.

Any ideas, stories or advise you have, I am more than open to receive them. My hope is that your feedback might serve as a guide for other travellers heading North. I plan on blogging my adventures on the road, so your thoughts on Internet and cell service is also appreciated. Well, that's it! Please share with us your words of wisdom.

The Happy Camper
