Alaska

just made the same trip except Yellowstone, etc. Go to the Canadian web and complete the ARRIVECAN FORM it will save you considerable time crossing the border. US credit cards (USCC) are not accepted at fuel pump because your ask for a pin #. solution use your debt or go inside and pre-pay. USCC work everywhere else. Carry Canadian $, your USCC will work in any Bank ATM.
If you plan on remote trips carry a jerry can of fuel unless your TV has a 36 gal tank. Make reservations now for the Lake Louise, Banff, Jasper, Denali area. They fill up 9 mo.to a year early. Drove up on the Al Can. Expect delays and bad roads 30% of the time between Ft Nelson and the AK boarder. Bent axels and broken leaf springs are common if you drive fast. Plan trip speed at about 45mph, and you will survive. Provincial parks are great, 30 amps is common at all parks in CA. Down load the HOTSPOT MOBILE app (free) and friends and relatives can track you trip. Have Fun. Chandy
