A few have commented about the jack under the axle. The RV was being 100% supported by jacks on the frame. The floor jack on the axle was only to move it up/down to align the bolts with the leaf spring. The slight bend in the axle is the crown and all axles should have this. The angle of the shot made it look more exaggerated than it is. All is good is in the trailer hood.

I have driven the Al Can 23 times over the last 38 years. First time I drove it, was all gravel. I was 16 and drove to Fairbanks from S. CA where my grandparents lived. My mother worried to death that I was on this 4000 mile trip at 16 but she got over it and even joined me for the return trip in the fall. I have driven it with VW campers, Pick ups, trailers, motor homes. People still prepare like they are going to the edge of the world in reality the road now days is good and the major towns have everything you find here in the states. I've had a few blow outs but bought a replacement tire at the next town. Never worried about if any thing would failed like bearings. The one thing that I have seen and had happen to me, is travel trailers broke down along the hwy because of broken leaf springs. I would carry a spare spring. I just carried some 6x6 blocks so if a spring broke on the trailer I would jack it up put a block between the axle and the frame and continue on to the next town. If it were the front of the spring I carried a cable come along to attach to the front of the frame and tie the axle from sliding back. The main thing even though the road is good and paved is not to drive over 45 mph as you will hit frost heaves and pot holes unexpectedly. Also the people who go faster never see the wild life along the hwy. You will have people pass you doing 60 mph and you run in to them at a look out or the next town and they will ask "did you see any wildlife?" Yes we saw bears, goats, moose. They say "well we didn't see any thing. That's because they were going to damn fast to see any thing! Even at 45 mph it is hard to get stopped quickly when you see bears and other animals. You also want to keep away from cars as they see something they'll just slam on the brakes with out seeing if a bigger rig that can't stop is behind them. It's a great drive that I have never gotten tired of. Just take your time and have a trip of a life time.

Great stuff as always. The shot of the suspension flexing going over the speed bumps was excellent! When Ginger is all loaded up to the max it would make a good repeat shot to compare. One really begins to understand what those "junk" undercarriages and china bombs are going through on all these rigs flying down the roads. The turning and twisting and failing is a terrible way to learn just how unsafe they really are. Tip of the hat to those guys at the repair shop for the quality work and honest evaluations. Also you can feel good you'll be one of the few rigs traveling with American made bearings!!! Thanks for all you two do. Jim.

Great Video and essential upgrades. I have to have a spare spare. Most of the ALCAN will be smooth 65-70 MPH/110KPH but from Burwash landing to AK border and all roads in AK are rough (lots of frost heaves (think moguls)). When you installed the mattress I noticed you have the same blinds that came in our rig. I recommend you swap the blinds in your sleeping areas with MCD blackout blinds. 24 hours of daylight makes it hard to sleep without blackout blinds.

Although I usually find your videos interesting and funny, sometimes, I think someone’s been scaring you about the trip to Alaska. In 1992 I pulled an old (ie very heavy) fifth wheel from Arizona to Missouri to Washington state then up the Alcan to anchorage. Three years later I pulled it back down to Missouri! Sold it, bought a small cab over camper and drove it back to Alaska. With a 1991 Dodge Dakota 4x4 extended cab with my wife, three daughters and our 100 lb lab, 200 lbs of Sams favorite dog food, because beau liked it and Alaska didn’t have any Walmart’s yet, a case of oil, case of anti freeze, four 5 gallon cans of gas, and whatever the fresh water tank held. I never got a flat or even a window chip on those trips. Between 92 and 95 I drove up 3 times total and down twice. No problem with gas either! Although the dakota (318 ci, before the magnum) did drop down to 9 mpg thru the mountains, overall it was great. I bought it new in 91 in Phoenix. Drove it until 2002, had 237000 miles, is still driving around anchorage today. You will encounter a lot of road repairing going on fixing winter potholes where you will have stretches following pilot cars, so that will slow you down some in rough road areas, mostly the roads, 22 years after my last trip down, are good, the worst is when you get close to the border at Tok, seems to be a long running dispute on who is responsible to maintain the roads close to the border, and you will encounter some pretty awesome frost heaves you will have to slow way down for during the first half of the day drive from Tok to the anchorage area. My current Dodge Ram 2004 4x4 quad cab I bought new in 04 and it has 270000 miles with zero major repairs, fifth windshield tho, it’s worse around town. This truck has all Alaska miles. I do 3000 miles every two months, just do your regular maintenance and you should be fine. I took your advice and just bought a used motorhome, am retiring this month from self employment, and plan to put some miles on this motorhome. I hope I get to run into you guys if we get in the same AO, will watch your posts. I will probably leave Alaska around the end of June. My kids have all grown and moved to Washington, Texas and Oklahoma. Got me some visiting to do.! Lol! Enjoy your trip, the scenery is outstanding, my favorite drive was in August 95, from Calgary till about halfway to Saskatchewan I had northern lights on the horizon for hours....and don’t leave food unattended outside your camper!

Recently took our travel trailer in for wheel bearing check, repack or replacement if necessary. They did a great job.....but when I started to get on the road home...no electric brakes. That sure increases the pucker factor! Partially my fault for I usually check the function of the electric controller after hooking up and starting to roll. After 3 hours of adjusting the brakes on all 4 wheels and rechecking, they're working fine and no issues using them on the 3000 mile trip to Seattle and back. There was head scratching and no explanation as to how/why this occurred since the brake adjustment was not messed with prior to the wheels being removed. Lessons learned.....

Capping the spring mounts was good. But, I think I would have gusseted the new plates to the frame also.

Nicely done! You shouldn't have any issues traveling to Alaska. Those are some really nice mattresses. Your kids should sleep better. I'm excited for y'all 😊

Great video Mark and Bearing Girl!!! I missed the leaf spring hanger upgrade on Ginger 1.0. Excellent idea, will have to go back and watch. Ever thought about an endless water heater? I know LJMJ had one installed. Looking forward to the next upgrade vid. Keep safe guys!!!!

We haven't had any issues with our water heater. We have more hot water than we need, but we'll it depends on how cold the water comes out of the ground. We'll see how much we get in BC and AK.

We just noticed your griddle on the outdoor kitchen. A review by Trish with some cooking tips would be great! :-) We are thinking of getting a new RV and the MORryde is right in top of our first upgrades. Love your videos. Keep up the good work!

Your upgrades look great. I have a warning for you with the BAL Hide a Spare. I have that on my trailer and when I lowered my spare to check on the tire pressure. I found that the beams had worn into the side of the tire making it unusable. I am in the process of having the tire replaced. Dealer says this is the first they have heard of this. I am thinking it has to be a common occurrence. Please check your spare after a period of driving to see if you are having the same issue. I don't want you to have problems in Alaska.
@KeepYourDaydream6 жыл бұрын
Good suggestion. I'll do periodic checks, which I would have never done without your comment. Thx.
@tommcl3866 жыл бұрын
Dealer changed type of bolt that is holding the spare so there is not as much pressure on the spare. The scrapped using a carpet in between beams and tire, they were afraid of keeping too wet and having rot. I will keep a close eye on it. When I get a chance I will send you pictures. Dealer had all my mods done in 5 days. Picking trailer up 6/21.

I have an update to my Hide a Spare. I had the same issue after last years dealer mod. What I discovered is Surveyor installed the wrong model for the Hide A Spare. They installed the version for TT that doesn't have an enclosed underbelly. Tomorrow I will be calling Surveyor. Obviously the dealer didn't know the difference. I will keep you posted.

FYI I know this video is 2 years old, but if you purchase a mattress from MatressInsider and get the Luxury RV option, which is the top of the line one, it's $100 off right now, PLUS you can ALSO use the KYD10 code and get an additional 15% off the base price. So I saved $185 on an RV King just now! SWEET! Thank you KYD!!!!!
