You'll enjoy it
We live in Whitehorse, Yukon. We bought our rig in Vancouver last year and drove it the 1500 miles home this spring. I guess a major shakedown trip. We've been back down "south" to Vancouver Island with it in June and will be heading to Homer Alaska this month.
We drive the Alaska highway and the Cassiar highway almost every summer. They're not interstates! But they sure are a lot better than the gravel, twisty, turny roads we first started driving in 1986. The advice others have given is very good. Slow down for those bump markers. Take your time. Enjoy the trip. But remember - they are very long roads with not many people. Lots of mountains, rivers, lakes and trees.
Best advice we give to people thinking of driving the highway - get a copy of the Milepost. It's the best for planning and for the trip.
Doesn't really matter if you're with a caravan. There are big sections of the country with no cell service. So if you want to play it safe, the caravan is the way to go. (And they seem to have lots of fun in the campgrounds too.) If you're a bit more adventurous, do it on your own. Take the side trips to the smaller locations. Enjoy that northern hospitality you find in small towns.
