Are now sitting in a camp ground in Nenana, Ak, headed toward Anchorage. Have traveled about 4200 miles with no problems except a broken headlite from a flying bolder. Loved Dawson City, would move if it didnt get so cold [up to 60 below]. Beautiful weather so far, very little rain. Mushroom pickers in the camp grounds, hundreds of pounds of morels. Will update when we have internet service. Darrel & Gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to hear you arrived back home safely. We originally wanted to travel across Canada from B.C. to Ontario, but thought perhaps it was a bit too far (round trip) for both the little Warrior and for us too. Ron 'n Sue Vancouver Island, B.C.

darrel Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Sorry I haven't posted anything since we got home. Guess I was just lazy. Had a million things to do when we got home and then all of a sudden here it is Christmas. Arrived at the homestead on 8-30 and have not stopped. We were gone for about 105 days 10,070 miles total, plus lots of Alaska marine highway miles, 17.5 MPG, only one incident the alternator quit while in Anchorage, Easy fix though. Would do the road trip again IT WAS FABULIOUS. :ThumbUp: That many thumbs up and more. Haven't got next years trip planned out, would like to go the Mardi Gras in march, but my wife isn't to keen on that. She wants to go to Newfoundland , that's a long haul." Ron & Sue your thought of BC to Ontario,, if you have the time and want to do it -do it-for you will in the end will wish you would have don it." What a tong twister. Any way rour rig is up to it.

Ron 'n Sue Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Thanks for the reply, Darrell. We have a '92Toyota Winnebago Warrior with 56,000 km. (35,000 mi.). Still trying to get up the nerve to do the Vancouver. to Toronto trip next summer. People there are anxious for us to come. Especially my daughter who will be getting married Yet Again! and would love for us to attend. We would plan on leaving early August and coming home late September. Approx. 5,000 miles one way, as we have to travel in Canada. Questions: 1) What sort of things would you recommend we do before we go, maintenance wise? 2) What kind of mileage per day did you prefer? That trip to Newfoundland would be fabulous! Cooler than Louisiana though. I've only been as far as Prince Edward Island and that was years ago towing a tent trailer and four kids! Highly recommend the east coast.
