We are heading to Fairbanks in July.  If you have traveled the TCH please share your experiences...honestly!

We are planning to cross at Buffalo, NY and heading toward Fairbanks. Anxious to hear from you folks!

@Om3, there have been other members who have taken their T@Bs to Alaska.  If you search for “Alaska” you’ll be able to read about other’s travels to the frozen north.

@Om3, are you asking about the Trans Canada Highway, or the Alaska Highway?

The Trans Canada Highway is gorgeous, but in  some areas it's not 4-lane and they depend on you to squeeze over onto the (normally wide) shoulder (at 60mph) to allow others to pass (These places might be minimal now, however. It's been a few years since I was on it)

It can sometimes be a little hairy in those places with blind hills and unexpected narrow bridges, etc.

I should say though, that drivers tend to be very polite about it if you and your rig can't/won't comfortably move over.

Thank you for this information! I know I asked about the Tran Canada Highway...but, we will also be traveling on the Alaskan Highway to get to Fairbanks. Any tips on that road???

Buy The Milepost. Massively useful.

To Om3:

Agree, The Milepost is essential. Also check the post "Alaska Bound...sort of. Any info on the Cassiar Hwy." There is a lot of information posted there about traveling to Alaska. I have posted several entries on stops along the way as well as posted on other topics about our trip there. There are many other posts on the subject on this forum. As previously suggested, just search for "Alaska". Lots of great experience availble!
