I too am heading to Alaska this summer and have found this thread very interesting. We plan on being gone 6+ weeks. I will be taking my fly fishing gear with me (tying stuff also) and hope to get into some good fishing. The only thing driving our schedule is I want to be in Alaska for the summer solstice other than that where we are is where we are. If we find a nice place to spend a few days then we stay and play.

I know about installation of a stone guard for the front of the truck, but how about the front of the 5th wheel? I would like to reduce the amount of damage to my rig and am wondering what those folks who have driven the ALCAN did for their rigs.
