Our Alaska RV Caravan BEGINS [TWO Big Rigs!]
We're taking our RV to Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway! This week begins our long RV trip to Alaska, but we're not going alone. We will be doing an RV caravan to Alaska with our friends (that's two BIG rigs!) and it's sure to be a great adventure, especially since we both have big fifth wheels!
After 3 years of full time RV living, RVing to Alaska is such a dream. We can't wait to share this epic journey with you, so be sure you're subscribed so you don't miss a thing!
Watch the other half of the caravan here: @OpenRoading

**Who are we?**
We’re Victoria & Craig! In 2021, we decided that we needed to make life a little more exciting, so we bought a used fifth wheel and completely renovated it. Then, we sold our house in Tallahassee, Florida and hit the road full time in our RV! We’ve traveled all around the United States (and Baja Mexico!) and fell in love with boondocking in our RV at the most beautiful places. In 2023, we upgraded to a brand new Brinkley RV Model Z 3100. You’ll always find us on some kind of outdoor adventure, whether it’s hiking the Grand Canyon, rock climbing in Yosemite or surfing the shores of Baja Mexico.

    I'm from Alberta, Canada and rest assured, the demeanor of this customs officer was typical. In fact, entering the states from Canada we get the same questions from the US customs agents. Sometimes they ask the guns and ammo question more than once, and with a few other questions in between for color just to trip up the potentially guilty. Oh, and Poutine is French Canadian. But it's pronounced either "Poo- TEEN" or "Poo-TIN" depending on preference. Both work just fine. Poon- TANG on the other hand....

    The Brinkley wave is going to replace the Jeep wave! In Canada only Walmart Supercenters have grocery section. When Walmart first entered Canada they didn’t allow them to sell fresh produce or meat or anything requiring refrigeration. Only about 10 years ago did they start changing them in the smaller towns. I remember when my small town got our Walmart in early 2000s and then in around 2013-2014 it changed to offer food. My hometown is only 45 minutes north of Montreal. It had to do with fair competition of the small local businesses….

    Looks like you need to add two smaller 1-1/4-inch stabilizers to your hitch mounted bike rack (picture a trident with the main tine being your 2-inch receiver, and the two outer tines the 1- 1/4 stabilizers welded to the rack, with corresponding receivers welded to your hitch or bumper). This will make the rack rock solid. The amount of movement you have now will eventually result in a catastrophic failure.
