Hello, I'm new to the forum and, to date, have camped in tents and the back of my pickup. At age 56, I've decided that when the mosquitoes are bad or the weather cold and rainy, I want to cook/eat/sleep/poop indoors. I live in Fairbanks and have driven quite a few of the roads around, including several trips up and down the Haul Road (Dalton Highway). In my view, these roads are typically quite passable (but not always), and frequently the gravel roads are easier on the vehicles than the frost-heaved pavement.
It's hard to find a good supply of campers here in Fairbanks, and there seem to be a few more in Anchorage, and I'll go down this weekend to check them out. On my radar are the r-pod (something like a RP 172 Hood River), Jayco Hardwall (A-frame) Baja, and Jayco Jay Lite 154 BH Baja.
I wonder if there are users here that have experience using the Hood River r-pods frequently on a road system like we have here in Alaska, and might offer any advice before I jump in. I expect most of my usage will be "off grid."
Many thanks,
Don
