Alaska Trips In A Motorhome

Dreaming of piloting an RV around the great state of Alaska? Many of the motorhomes you'll see out on the roads during the summer are rentals driven by travelers up for a visit. Alaska is a pretty RV-friendly state, with public and private campgrounds in or around state and national parks, plus space available on public lands along many rural routes. Our handy list of FAQs will get you one step closer to hitting the road:

  1. Should I rent a car or an RV?
  2. Is an RV easy to drive?
  3. Is an RV easy to operate?
  4. How big an RV do I need?
  5. How can I get the best deal?
  6. What else do I need to keep in mind?
  7. How do Anchorage RV rental companies compare?

Why Rent an RV?

  • Pros: An RV offers the freedom and control to stay anywhere, anytime-and pick up and leave with the same ease. It's a chance to see all the sights, not just the restrooms along the way-you've got your own on board You'll have plenty of space for storage and supplies you might need on your journey, plus a stove, refrigerator, and freezer. Rent fishing equipment, lawn chairs, a BBQ, etc. from your RV rental company. You can even choose the floor plan you want.
  • Cons: Price and gas mileage (unless you decide on an unlimited gas mileage option) can be a drain on the trip. Watch for hidden fees and charges (dumping, cleaning, etc.). May have to rent linens, cookware, and other essentials. Operating an RV is a little more complicated.
