Newbie full time RVer

[Rocinante]

On the road since November, 2006, from Michigan in 41 ft fifth wheel. Currently in Portland, OR on way to Anchorage, Alaska for six weeks.

Anyone made a similar trip? Do I need more than one spare each for tow vehicle and RV? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Returning from Alaska in September, is there any "easy" way heading east over the Rockies?

I don't want to get stuck in any mountains. My rig is too heavy to pull on long or steep grades.

The Milepost is considered the definitive guide for driving to/from Alaska. I'm sure it will give a lot of good tips like you seek. I'm thinking that you might be best to find websites that cater to RV travel.
RV Basics might be a good place to start. There are others. You might do a web search.

Welcome to the Great American RoadTrip Forum. I lived and worked in a RV for 6.5 years and two of the leading industry spokerspersons for the full-timing lifestyle are monthly columnists here on RTA. You might read some of Alice and Jaimie's columns for some tips.
