Hi Hanks. If you can check out dual fuel generators. Propane and gas. Pricey but worth it.Another thing to check out is a large solor charged lithium generator. Bluetti or one of the other brands would do you guys right. You can recharge it by solar or generator. Wash your truck and fifth wheel asap Get underneath both to get dirt and especially road salt off. Road salt is bad for the undercarriage of both vehicles. Enjoy the rough roads and potholes coming out. Hopefully you make it out before the snow flies. Love your videos and content
FYI Because we occasionally pull across non-paved roads, we made five modifications to our camper: 1. Lifted the trailer 1.25 inches. 2. Upgraded the suspension with stabilizers and heavy-duty shackles. 3. Installed a "skid plate" under the dump valves. 4. Installed HD pneumatic castors on the rear frame. 5. Went with a size larger tire designed for rough terrain. This has made a world of difference when pulling on gravel/bumpy roads.
Oh man, I agree with the roads to and from Alaska. I averaged 14MPH in some of those spots. If I were pregnant, I'd have given birth. I am SO grateful I made it to and from without any damage to my car or RV, unlike a few people I met while in Alaska.
It’s the anticipation of waiting for Thursday and then 6pm, and then it’s here before you know it. You watch, laugh, in awe, and the darn thing is over. But, it starts again. Dang. Wishing our days away to live through the Hanks. Thanks!
The Hanks are actively seeking boondocking sites, I never thouight I'd type that - I LOVE IT! I think you guys will love it too (boondocking for a night or two or five 😲). Adding Jenny was a great choice IMHO, now you can go a couple overcast days without worry, your boondocking limit is really going to be determined by water (next purchase should be a water bladder and small pump!). Y'all are proving that you don't have to spend $10K+ to be "off-grid" capable. Awesome! #THANKSHANKS
You’re not the only female driving a truck and dealing with lots of questions. Chris from Irene iron travels is being bombarded with questions also. You go girls. I’m a pickup driver also so I understand your love for driving. You’re good at it so why not! ❤ keep your videos coming. Love watching you guys!
Yep, slow down and smell the roses, but sometimes you would like to speed up. Thanks Hanks for making my Friday night enjoyable (yes I know this came out on Thursday but it's been a busy week). Keep the good stuff coming guys.
Love this video - we plan on making this trip in a year or two. Thanks for sharing your trip! Now we just need to get our camper van finished ( soon )!
Thank you so much, Craig!! That is so cool to hear that you guys are in the process of getting your camper van finished! Keep us posted with how things go and your upcoming travels 😃 Stay safe - Kyle and Renee
As a over the road trucker that has been in every major city and down every interstate from coast to coast. You two have guts. I thought spending the night in the Bronx or downtown LA was hard…. 2 thumbs up to the both of you.
That is so funny , you named your generator Jenny & we named our rv Jenny. My husband & I are in our 60s & have been traveling full-time in our Reflection for 4 years. I really enjoy watching your videos. 😊
Rode my motorcyle on the Top of the World highway in 2007. Total trip from Las Vegas to Prudhoe Bay to Key West, Florida and back to Vegas. 6 weeks and 13,000 miles. Absolutely loved every mile. As you go thru Canada, stop at Annies for breakfast. Best ever as it is cooked over an open fire!!! Have fun and be safe!!!! You really need a GPS for navigation.
The roads in the north will KILL your truck and trailer. Taking it easy on the speed will help but makes for long driving times to get to your destination; but that's part of the fun. My bed in my trailer is super comfortable and I sleep like a baby after a long day, some fresh air and a beer with supper. The north is magical and tough. Enjoy the ride. Great video.
CHICKEN!! Yaa! You got to see Chicken! Did it back in the 80's. Got to spend a week with Anne Purdy, author of Tisha. When we drove the Tok road, it was gravel ALL the way to Chicken, as was the road to Eagle on the Yukon River.
Now that you travel the Cassier highway,, do you remember what mile marker to what mile marker was the road dirt and how many miles. We are so happy you got a generator. You will love it,, our generator has already paid itself off with all the money. We’ve saved Boondocking. We never thought we would be Boondockers, but we absolutely love it.
We did the TOTW Highway in the opposite direction in late June. We broke a leaf spring coming down from Chicken. Roads are no joke in Alaska and Yukon.
Cool, you guys got a pet log! They love to swim with you! Also, am I the only one who wanted to see Nae Nae driving slow and then see Carl run up beside her on foot?
Love the AK videos! It makes us miss living there for sure. That highway tho doesn't close in September. My husband and I had to drive it beginning of December due to him getting orders to be restationed in Georgia. The roads in AK were horrible, but the roads in Canada were amazing! Thank you for sharing your journeys! ❤
We drove that route in July, it seemed that the gravel section (100 miles) once past the border crossing was smoother than the previous section. It was VERY dusty though! Only issue was a few days later when I went to drain our fresh water tank and found that the plastic valve handles on the tank drain and low point drains had been sand blasted and only little nubs left, thankfully enough to open and close with pliers. Been fun following your adventures as we travelled much of the same routes. The road from Dawson to Whitehorse had some bad sections but mainly due to construction, once complete it should be much better. Safe travels!
Looks like you're getting much more comfortable with the boondocking. Congratulations. Save lot's of $$$. I think you will expand your viewers as well.
We traveled Alaska in 2017 in an RV. I enjoyed revisiting places vicariously through you. Yes, we visited Chicken! 😉 That guide was an amazing help to us as well.
Yall have shown some beautiful scenery. I hope the bad roads has not hurt your truck or camper. I guess the bad roads in the lower 48 won't be so bad now 😂😂. Yall be safe and be sure to use non-ethanal gas so carburetor on Genny doesn't gum up when not in use.
Roads in Canada are fine. The odd one frost heave. But you will be fine. There is never ending construction in the summer to try to fit in some fixing before the next snowfall. Lol.
Generally speaking major highways and secondary are paved in Canada and smooth sailing at 100-110 km/hr. Even in the snow we drive that fast unless its a blizzard or the wind has blown the snow and iced it up. They salt/calcium the roads daily if needed and plow all day in winter if needed to keep highways clear. Summer is spent fixing any damage from winter. Been driving in Canada 35 years you will be fine in all the provinces may-oct in an rv. The territories and Alaska routes are their own beast!
🙋♀️Hey y'all! Oh my goodness. You two are the best. My husband and I have just recently found you guys and we have been on a marathon catching up with all your content and it is wonderful! We love you both and hope to meet you guys one day hopefully soon. We are currently driving a Buick Enclave and would love to buy a very light camper for 4 to 5 people. Do you have any suggestions on what style would be a good start for us? We really value your opinion on all topics including ideas for remote jobs. Again we just love you both and your channel. Please please keep up the fantastic work. Y'all are a true delight..♥️😊
We really appreciate your kindness and support in watching our videos 🤗 Honestly, it depends on your tow capacity and ratings of the Buick Enclave. There are a lot of great options for light weight campers, but it all depends on the exact tow vehicle. I wish we could be more help! Much love from the Hanks family ❤️
I'm glad we got to watch you do this trip. Cements the thoughts of "No Thanks" in our RV. Think we will do the cruise out of Vancouver and save our rig. Welcome back to asphalt! 😊
Oh my gosh, it is so cool to hear you talk about the roads. We were in AK mid July through the last week of Aug. Distruction Bay to Tok was so bad! We loved Cassier Highway. We also took the Dalton up to the Arctic Circle. On a whim, we took the Denali Highway. Now, AK uses the term "Highway" very loosely. The Denali was, pick the smaller potholes, oh, and did i say it gravel for 100 of the 120 miles? But i wouldnt trade a minute of our trip for anything!
We are starting our 5 year mark, we really appreciate you're vids. We want to get a motorhome. We will be looking as of today. Any opinions are greatly appreciated.
After getting up in cold weather to get the gen started, I went and made sure our 2nd generator had a remote starter and electric starter. we don't have to get dressed to make coffee. Just hit the start button in doors.
I’ve made that trip a couple of times in Feb/Mar on a snow machine back in the 90’s. It was a blast. Especially snow machining up the Yukon and watching the floor show at Diamond Tooth Gertie’s.
I like how you say “Life size chicken” Karl, I don’t know with what kind of chickens you hang out with but I’ve never seen a live chicken 10 ft tall!!!! Lol
Glad to see people pass you on the hwy. It had been my nightmare when we go there we’ll be going slow and causing a five mile jam following us. We will take it slow and preserve our truck and rig.
An interesting test to make would be to get a couple of vibration meters and put one in the trailer and one in the truck. Then compare them at different speeds. Many people will tell you to drive faster over wash board roads. Are the trucks driving faster than you are?
👍 good information I didn’t realize the roads were so rough in Canada and Alaska and those kind of roads will take its toll on your fifth wheel have a safe trip back to the states. I enjoy your informative videos.👍
I really enjoyed these Alaska videos as you toured my home state. Kinda rough roads with an RV. My favorite way to travel to/from AK is a motorcycle. And, with the current fuel costs, the difference pays for motels…
The Top of the World highway was the highlight of our Alaska trip... The road was on the peak and often dropped off on the left and right sides giving fantastic views... But somewhat scary when you think about where you are and where the road is... We traveled the other direction and the American boarder crossing was one of the worst experiences we ever had... We figured they were board or something... My dear wife (ex now) told me to go when the signs said stop... I did stop briefly... There was no one else there or ahead of us... I now figure that it was probably the scanning area... But I didn't know that at the time... They were pissed because I didn't stop long enough...
Just a thought, My 2022 Rockwood mini lite came with a 180w solar panel and I opted for an additional 180w solar panel. My batteries are always at 100% even when not hooked to shore power,
Wish we were with you, hopefully you find the Alaskan highway better, take the full trip down to Dawson Creek and Jasper, Banff, Lake Louise and highway 93 south through the Cranbrook Valley or find Glacier national park. I am Canadian from Calgary, hopefully you will have a great ride back. Love you.
Did Ya'll say Dawson Creek to Whitehorse? Thought you was headed south not north. Whoopsie's roads are beating you down a tad I reckon. Is ok Dawson Creek...Dawson City...Actually very not similar towns as you are about to find out. Enjoy Dawson! Get some zzzz...lol
Use only premium no ethanol gas in Jenny❤ she will look after you for years. I have small engines over 10 years old still start first pull even my Jenny😂
Melodee & I will be in Nor Cal the third week of November through December 15th and would love to have the opportunity to meet you guys. Thanks! Bob, Melodee, and the road dogs Holly & Wyatt.❤
How in the top-of-the-world can you get lost going from the Alaskan border to Dawson? I'm sure hoping you're joking. I've done that awsome and sometimes scary drive both ways. Beautiful country and really great people in Alaska and the Yukon. Definitely a place to go especially in summer when you don't have to worry about snowfall. We were there in July and there was still snow drifts melting off along the TOTW highway. Dawson to Whitehorse was a breeze compared to the TOTWH. If you want to drive on a really crappy road, take the Dempster (aka Dumpster ) Highway north of Dawson to the Arctic circle. Cheers from Alberta, Canada.
Fun video, thanks for sharing your trip. It’s been 25 years since I drove up to Chicken, spent 2 days there before continuing on to Dawson City. Did you get to pan for gold while you were in Chicken? I had great success in one of the streams that runs past the mine. Roads seem to be in worse condition now compared to when I made the drive, but the ferry across the Yukon seems to be the same.
Great video, i have thought about heading to AK with my trailer for a while but other priorities right now. My main comment is this though, unless you are running high draw AC items, use your batteries and inverter. Leave the generator off. Before bed, run the generator to charge up for the night and next day's use. Your lithium batteries can take a much faster charge rate (more amps) than you are likely using to power small loads or quick large loads like a couple minutes of microwave use. If you ran the good size generator you have for everything you would be wasting gas and putting more wear and tear on your generator running to power those small items. Even "eco mode" would likely be more power than you are using most of the time.
Nice video!! I’m new to ur channel and always wanted to go to Alaska. We’re from Ontario canada and love to travel in our travel trailer. How has the Duramax been reliability wise?? Thanks
We also meet you two at the ID rally in October. I was the first to notice you both. I was so excited it made my rally when will you be back in this area. Would love to meet up with you and meet the third mom of your family Mr Dexter. Love you all keep your videos coming love them ❤
Please make sure to use ethanol free gas for Genny if you let her sit for more than a month as I have had carbs ruined by ethanol sitting in it.
Thanks for the info!
I treat regular gas with startron, it works amazing! No more gumed up carb!
Absolutely, I only use non-ethanol for any small engine. Chainsaws, generator, weed eater, lawnmower, powered wheelbarrow.
Hi Hanks. If you can check out dual fuel generators. Propane and gas. Pricey but worth it.Another thing to check out is a large solor charged lithium generator. Bluetti or one of the other brands would do you guys right. You can recharge it by solar or generator. Wash your truck and fifth wheel asap
Get underneath both to get dirt and especially road salt off. Road salt is bad for the undercarriage of both vehicles.
Enjoy the rough roads and potholes coming out. Hopefully you make it out before the snow flies. Love your videos and content
I have a dual fuel generator and mainly run propane to avoid the ethanol. I believe there are conversion kits for the Hondas.
By accident, we arrived in Chicken on the weekend of their music festival. The name of the festival... (wait for it) ... Chicken Stock!!
So happy to see that you finally got a generator. Don’t know how you’ve gone all these years without one 😂. Love watching you guys.
FYI Because we occasionally pull across non-paved roads, we made five modifications to our camper: 1. Lifted the trailer 1.25 inches. 2.

Went with a size larger tire designed for rough terrain. This has made a world of difference when pulling on gravel/bumpy roads.
I love your videos so much. I’m a part time RV er, but all I want to do is camp in our bad ass RV. I’ve learned so much from you guys. Thank you

Seeing you drive on the top of the world highway reminded me when I drove on the 70 highway in Indiana. From one side of the start to the other.

Makes for a nice smooth ride!
Thanks Hanks for taking us along on this journey. I’m very curious about the state of your rig now. Hopefully you’ve made it to the 🌞 by now.
Now that you travel the Cassier highway,, do you remember what mile marker to what mile marker was the road dirt and how many miles. We are so happy you got a generator. You will love it,, our generator has already paid itself off with all the money. We’ve saved Boondocking. We never thought we would be Boondockers, but we absolutely love it.
On the Cassiar highway, the only gravel part is 1 mile before the Sitkine bridge, if traveling north! Can't wait to share more on the generator!
Renee you could try speeding up to smooth out the bumps/rumble of the road as you in effect 'flying' over the surface!
Glad you are enjoying your trip. Look forward to your next stop the presses release on the generator. Old Chief, Texas

More to come!
Oh my gosh, it is so cool to hear you talk about the roads. We were in AK mid July through the last week of Aug. Distruction Bay to Tok was so bad! We loved Cassier Highway. We also took the Dalton up to the Arctic Circle. On a whim, we took the Denali Highway. Now, AK uses the term "Highway" very loosely. The Denali was, pick the smaller potholes, oh, and did i say it gravel for 100 of the 120 miles? But i wouldnt trade a minute of our trip for anything!
I used iOverlander, too. It works really well. We also use campendium.
Heard the Dalton highway is rough but always worth it! Not in a large RV though!
@@HappilyEverHanks Yeah, we heard the same thing and opted to leave our camper at the campground for the day.
Gotta have some coffee to go with those cherry pies! Oh, excuse me chicken cherry pies🐓
We are starting our 5 year mark, we really appreciate you're vids. We want to get a motorhome. We will be looking as of today. Any opinions are greatly appreciated.
Good video guys! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
After getting up in cold weather to get the gen started, I went and made sure our 2nd generator had a remote starter and electric starter. we don't have to get dressed to make coffee. Just hit the start button in doors.
Your wilderness shots are breathtaking! 🏞 Relishing every magical moment! 😊 We LOVED driving the Alaska Highway, and seeing this is great 👍
Wow that is rough!! Hope the truck and camper holds up! Happy camping and safe travels! 🙏🏻❤️
I hope so too!
You should check out the huge roadrunner (recycling) in Las Cruces, NM sometime.
TOW not a problem, now the Dempster, I was suck on that one for a week waiting for a tow.
I love you both! So endearing! I’ve totally enjoyed this run!

Thanks, you too!
I like how you say “Life size chicken” Karl, I don’t know with what kind of chickens you hang out with but I’ve never seen a live chicken 10 ft tall!!!! Lol
😂
I was going to say the same!
Once you get to Pavement for good... i HIGHLY suggest change out your Engine air filter and Cabin Air filter in the truck :-)
we loved top of the world! slow going but so worth it.
Glad to see people pass you on the hwy. It had been my nightmare when we go there we’ll be going slow and causing a five mile jam following us.
We will take it slow and preserve our truck and rig.

The locker joke, 😂go Carl!
Beautiful scenery and living in Louisiana i understand rough roads 😂 hope y'all don't have any troubles with y'all's truck and camper, have fun!
Awesome vid, makes me want to hit the road
Safe travels
Glad to see that you guys bought the IMHO best fuel can! Thanks again for the bestest tour!

👍 good information I didn’t realize the roads were so rough in Canada and Alaska and those kind of roads will take its toll on your fifth wheel have a safe trip back to the states. I enjoy your informative videos.👍
You are exactly correct. Slow and breakdown free is the utmost there, seems to me. let em pass.

My experience on most washboard roads is that you need to travel about 40 mph. At 25 mph, you’re going to rattle your fillings out.
Just a thought, My 2022 Rockwood mini lite came with a 180w solar panel and I opted for an additional 180w solar panel. My batteries are always at 100% even when not hooked to shore power,

How in the top-of-the-world can you get lost going from the Alaskan border to Dawson? I'm sure hoping you're joking. I've done that awsome and sometimes scary drive both ways. Beautiful country and really great people in Alaska and the Yukon. Definitely a place to go especially in summer when you don't have to worry about snowfall. We were there in July and there was still snow drifts melting off along the TOTW highway. Dawson to Whitehorse was a breeze compared to the TOTWH. If you want to drive on a really crappy road, take the Dempster (aka Dumpster ) Highway north of Dawson to the Arctic circle. Cheers from Alberta, Canada.
Your poor truck and GD. Also being young has its advantages for adventures such as yours. Enjoy and be safe.
Safe travels.
Ya’ll are so funny! 🎉
Fun video, thanks for sharing your trip. It’s been 25 years since I drove up to Chicken, spent 2 days there before continuing on to Dawson City. Did you get to pan for gold while you were in Chicken? I had great success in one of the streams that runs past the mine. Roads seem to be in worse condition now compared to when I made the drive, but the ferry across the Yukon seems to be the same.
No panning for golf, maybe next time!
Great video, i have thought about heading to AK with my trailer for a while but other priorities right now. My main comment is this though, unless you are running high draw AC items, use your batteries and inverter. Leave the generator off. Before bed, run the generator to charge up for the night and next day's use. Your lithium batteries can take a much faster charge rate (more amps) than you are likely using to power small loads or quick large loads like a couple minutes of microwave use. If you ran the good size generator you have for everything you would be wasting gas and putting more wear and tear on your generator running to power those small items. Even "eco mode" would likely be more power than you are using most of the time.
Nice video!! I’m new to ur channel and always wanted to go to Alaska. We’re from Ontario canada and love to travel in our travel trailer. How has the Duramax been reliability wise?? Thanks

Hi Guys look into a dual fuel generator. Wash your truck and
Fifth wheel asap. Dirt and road salt are bad for the vehicles and the finish.
