Alaska

It really is a trip of a lifetime to see Alaska. I totally agree with YukonGrant
about the roads , just take your time and do not worry about people behind you just enjoy the views and there are many. The Milepost and Camping in Alaska are two books that are invaluable for the trip (get them from Amazon).
If you eat out a lot it would be very expensive but grocery stores are easily found and prices are not that much more than in the lower 48.
Private campgrounds are basically parking lots with services but OK, state and provincial parks are great but usually farther away from the towns and cities and no services to speak of but more camping feel. The Reilly campground in Denali is great with huge campsites and a very good dump station and store,it was our favourite National Park campground.
The KOA`s are all good too but expensive but make sure you have cash as some state parks have an envelope system but a real deal at around $20 US
My best advice is start planning a year or so ahead and have an idea what you
want to see and have a route planned somewhat but always be prepared for anything
The extra items we added on were a spare tire and hitch mount, tire repair kit, tire inflator, black out window covers made from reflextrix insulation, and a whole lot of small things and do not forget to buy bear spray, we had it but did not use it but worthwhile as you never know.
Do not miss the trip from Bamff to Jasper and up through the Cassier Highway to Watson Lake.
