RE: 20.7 MPG on my Dodge dually
Am I missing the specs on all these MPG posts ? ... are these 2 or 4wd trucks?
Mine is 4x4. Has always done better with a load on it for some reason.

RE: It's offical, Spring is here in Anchorage!
Went Trout fishing on Willow creek this last weekend. Didn't catch a thing, but being out of Anchorage was priceless.
Del_B... Alaska awaits for you. Yes. The geese are here. The sun is out. The trees will be full in less than 2 weeks. Summer is upon us. Finally!
I for one won't be Home for a single weekend from now until late October.

RE: It's offical, Spring is here in Anchorage!
NOT!!!!! Sheeesh It was 55 yesterday, in the 50's all week, today 14" of #$@#& snow so far at my house in a single day. I had to leave my rig at work. Way to top heavy.
My fault! I put the camper on last weekend and de-winterized. I'll have a picture tomorrow. I'll have plenty of time since i'm NOT GOING FISHING!

RE: New to RVing
B.Wagner, Welcome to RV'ing, Welcome to the site, Welcome to Alaska, well, almost :)
Whatever you do, take your time and Enjoy it! Stay the posted speeds and stay attentive on your way up. Lots of wildlife to veiw. Stop at Muncho Lake, beautiful place. Make sure you have an extra fuel can. The trip form WhiteHorse to Tok is a long one. About 400 mile, no nothing between them.
