Canada Border Crossing /Alaska Bound / Harvest Host/ RV Lifestyle / Driving the ALCAN / RV Road Trip

We've been planning this Alaska RV road trip for over a year and we're doing it. Enough talk, let's walk! Well...we'll drive but you get the picture.
Taking our Class C to Alaska so we can get to some remote areas and drive on roads less traveled. We've taken our Big Rig before but this time will be different. We're going to Denali and Tek campground but also the Dalton highway and so much more.
Leaving from the Thousand Trails in Leavenworth, Washington we need to fill up our water tank first using our pump. First time let's see if it fits in the Jeep and works!
The drive up the Columbia River is beautiful with so many orchards. They are like artwork in the "V" shape to it more efficient to harvest. The mountains and the river provide a gorgeous backdrop for the start of our trip up to Canada and the ALCAN highway.
A channel viewer offered to show us Osoyoos for the afternoon and it was a memorable day. Views from the lookout were spectacular along with a secret racetrack (Area 27), wild horses, winery stops and a dinner at Row 14 Restaurant at a Cidery, Klippers Organics. A great way to end a fantastic day.
A drive up to Kelowna and a campsite on the lake offered another great end to a wonderful day. A food haul to the Real Canadian Superstore is another video.
Daily fuel stops will be a different sort of travel duty for us and they continue through this trip.
It will be fun and an adventure in a Class C plus, bigger than a vanlifer (Van Life) but smaller than a truck Super Class C. We'll scout out places for future visits to Alaska (there will be 4 of them).

We use the TSD card for diesel fuel and save a bundle each time we fill up our Big Rig. We also use it to fill up our Onan generator.
The big blue boards (XL version) we use sometimes to get us "un-stuck" is from:

Our Class C is built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It's a production build Magnitude model XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We've made some modifications to it so that we can boondock comfortably. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000w multi-plus inverter, dual alternators charge while traveling and mods to the water system greatly enhance it's boondocking capabilities.
Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.
