Well, I'm already carrying four 20lb tanks on the fiver, Not having to
carry gasoline may make it

the side of a rode while
riding to Alaska.

Are there any opportunities for renting an RV in Alaska or up in
Canada? I'd like to spend more time in Alaska but don't really want
to make a big investment in tow vehicles/campers.

Yes they are. Friend a few years ago, rented a truck and camper. Truck
campers are really nice up there as you do not have to worry about turning
around on a dirt road you explore.

Agreed. With a rig like mine, I don't go up roads without turnarounds. Luckily, I can park the rig
and take the pickup where I want to go. But, there are no 'spur of the moment' side trips up little
twisty roads!
