PACKING Be prepared for four seasons—even in summer, when many days are cool and some are downright chilly. Bring more than one pair of hiking shoes per person since everything takes days to dry in the damp. Other essentials for an Alaskan RV road trip: unscented baby wipes to wash with when you're trying to conserve water; moisturizer and lip balm; insect repellent; and plenty of activities for kids: books, games, sketch pads, journals, cameras, binoculars, CD's, and portable CD players.
PROVISIONING Be sure to stock up on vegetables and fruit when you do your mega-shop in Anchorage. The convenience stores in the hinterlands will pass muster only for those prepared to subsist on beef jerky, canned chili, chips, and candy.
