We've been to Alaska many times, driving twice from New York State.. The first trip was from New York State in 1971 in my 1967 Land Rover Series IIa, the Alaska highway was gravel the whole way. Forty years later we did it with a Mercedes ML500 pulling our 20" Airstream and the highway was paved and markedly improved. There was still a section that was very tough, right before the AK line. Alaska is great, you'll love it.
Oh, when you get on the AKL Highway, don't do your usual run the tank to empty! Fill it at every opportunity!
Great to see you doing another road trip. Can’t wait for all the updates. Have a safe trip.

I hope you guys have a blast! Take your time, we love the content! The views so far are amazing! Maybe y’all can go the coastal route on the way back or vice versa?
have a great journey, and be safe on the road ! no better way to travel, IMHO. there are several aps for both places to overnight, and locations of rest areas, etc etc. i imagine you have them. just be aware of 4 legged predators in the remote camping areas, and unfortunately there can be 2 legged ones as well. very much looking forward to this series !
Two legged predators are rare when camping here in Alaska. Just about everyone is armed, literally, for bear. 😊 ruclips.net/video/rnf_JD4UUJw/видео.html
I calculated how much this trip is going to cost you guys in fuel alone and then made sure to click Like to help out in some small way with that!
Cool to see you drive around In Casper. We dont have an EA charger yet. It is due to be intstalled this summer.
Such a nice van. Just can't stomach the 13 mpg. Or the cost of the van! Getting something like 35 in our 2008 Rav4.
Beautiful trip. We are planning to do the same in 2023 with our Sprinter 4x4. In our many trips we noticed that fuel economy worsens substantially with speed, front wind and type of tires. At 60mph, with highway tires and no front wind, our Sprinter shows 22mpg, at 80mph it makes 16mpg (our Sprinter is much lighter than the Revel). In addition, off road tires will decrease the mpg by approx 10% compared to regular tires(most of the time we use Michelin Agilis Cross Climate). When in need, just drive slowly and the range will increase by up to 30%. We had to do it a few times.
Really excited to see your adventure. Safe travels. Till next time.
Thank you guys for taking us along on this epic journey to Alaska . Your video presentation is so interesting , entertaining and also educational . By the way the Winnebago Revel looks so cool .
Awesome…BUT I have no idea what episode is what. CAN YOU PLEASE LABEL THESE SO WE CAN WATCH IN ORDER??? And state when this “series” ENDS?-the last episode.
About 50 feet from where you parked in downtown Billings to walk the dogs is a decent level 2 charger in the Wells Fargo parking garage. They are the first few parking spots right inside and cost $2.5 per hour for 10kW. It is some of the only public charging in downtown Billings.
Life full of adventures is a full life.
Thanks for the tour. Been a long time since I have traveled.
I looking for months travel blog like this. Thankyou so much to take us with your journey.
Put in some cooking videos!And food shopping so we know what you needed to make and pack your fridge.
I'm in Pacific NW and have never been to Alaska... would love to visit someday soon, possible with a Cruise up there.
Hello from South Carolina many safe travels
I'm sure you'll receive warmest welcome at many places maybe even in Prudhoe Bay.. Bon Voyage.
You're gonna need to add that extra fuel tank. My Sprinter gets the same mileage and it was torture until I added more fuel capacity. Not to mention that 2500 mile trip is gonna cost about 50 cents per mile with current diesel prices!
Yea those diesel prices are insane
Just liked and subscribed. Hi from Fruita Co. looking forward to the trip. Lived in Anchorage in the early sixties. Was in the big earthquake
Have a safe trip and keep on trucking
The fuel cost for this trip will be insane if you are paying around 40c per mile. At least you save on hotel costs.
Looks like your first encounter with a washboard road wasn’t pleasant. I hope you have a good compressor and knowledge about tire pressures. It will improve your ride substantially
Hi there guys.geat couple & adventure w/ gorgeous dogs.be safe.
Absolutely love these videos…keep them coming!
Thats very nice long adventure guys..!!inlike it..!!!
hi looking at your video from melbourne victoria Australia ive done a fair bit of traveling australia and been tp canada but looking forword one day to get to Alaska safe traveling mark from down under
Depending on when you get to alaska it’s going to be 24 hour of daylight or Atleast 20 but still!!
Aw, sweet pooches!
THIS IS AWESOME.. I'VE DREAMED OF DOING THIS SOMEDAY BUT ACROSS STATES FROM WEST TO EAST INSTEAD.
Just want to see an adventure road trip to Alaska with the GM Hummer EV because it would just be awesome to see this monster going rough places.
Hi I’m your new subscribers I love watching van life
Love the adventure!! Following!!
Hello, I just found your channel and subscribed. I can't wait to see your trip to Alaska and back. How long are you planning to spend on your adventure?
Keil! How perfect.
Thanks for sharing. Question, I see the garage appears to be open. Where do you store your clothes and gear?
I like road trip. Nice view 👍💪
If you’re not familiar with diesel,your engine is turbo diesel,and it will need to cool for a few minutes every time you drive it under boost.Oil is what cools the turbocharger so as soon as you shut it off-the oil starts cooking inside the turbo.The turbo temp is usually two to three time the water temp,so as high as 800 degrees easily.Letting it idle sends oil through the turbo from the oil pan-which cools it.Very important.Also,Never go further than 5K between oil changes-oil filter technology is the same as it was 60 years ago-paper media inside the oil filters get clogged after 3-5K,and even with synthetic-when the filter quits working-you engine is forced to eat filthy carbon rich oil.Never a good thing if you want your timing chain to stay together.Ask me how I know..I see this ALL the time.
That's 100% not true on the oil changes. Do you change Mercedes for a living?
@@alaskaasmr200 I am a certified Master Diesel engine technician with Land Rover,Mercedes and BMW.This is 100% truth.Obviously you know nothing about how Diesel engines work.Turbochargers run at high temperatures and cool by the oil flow from the pan while idling-shut the engine off-the oil flow stops-oil in the turbo will cook.
@@irishdefense77 I do. And I'm talking about the oil filter, that's all I said. And what you saod is incorrect.
@@alaskaasmr200 oil filters are paper media and have been for over 60 years.Nothing has changed there.When the filter gets clogged with carbon -WHICH IS THE BYPRODUCT OF COMBUSTION, the oil is not filtered anymore and will cause damage.I see this all the time.Cut an oil filter in half after 3K and see what it looks like.
@@irishdefense77 No kidding but the Mercedes ones last longer. You should know this if you're a certified Mechanic. They are no the same as on a Toyota Corolla. Construction is completely diffrent.
Update 1 year later: You're not gonna see en masse EV charging stations on the Alaska highway anytime soon. Since this video aired, a lot has changed. And not for the better regarding EV's. People finally got unwoke and realize, range matters. Hell, the only reason Alaska has any population is to provide the lower 48 with fossil fuels.
Love van camping and adventure... but y'all lost me on the push for electric vehicles. See ya ..
Cheers from Casper, Wy!
@outofspecoverlanding9649
How is the Lane Keep assist on this Sprinter? Does it have electric steering assist and will steer you back in lane? Is this built on a 21 chassis? Did they improve the drivers assistance functions from the earlier model years? @KyleConner
Need to slow it down a bit for the good mpgs. We get 20mpg in our 10,000 geared up Travato going 60mph
Taco John that won't fly in Arizona,but Taco Tuesday will:)
Sounds like a great trip. FYI, the Sherpa is only rated to 100 lbs :) pretty sure the boxes alone are maxing out the weight.
We have the same trip planned in the future, so it will be interesting to see where you go and the points of interest you pick out along the way. If you have anything you can say about your van's security while out hiking, I would be interested in what you came up with.
Good video brother 🎵🎶🎺🇨🇺👍
Good luck with the channel
Great video! When do we get the next part of the Alaska series?
Were you able to get the Starlink Internet working? Safe travels!
LOve the idea behind your trip. One point: Please research the recharge time on the current and near future (like five to ten years out) electric cars. About me: Thanks for the inspiration to kick things loose. At 58 for me and 55 for my wife, we are about to start our travel channel to publicize my writing and my wife's art. We will be using a 2004 Chevy Blazer as both of us are currently on disability. We will be trying to earn our way with writing and art. Hopefully we will see ya down the road.
TACO JOHNS! boy that is one thing i miss about living in the midwest. sure it's not great, but it's better than taco bell.
Did Alyssa go to UT in Tampa? I'm 5 minutes away from the school haha
Can't understand how your mpg is so low.. I have a fiat ducato here in France and get 31 mpg.. 2.3 liter diesel.. I'm taking it to the states next year so happy to get good mileage considering the price of gas at the moment..
off road tires, likely headwinds, and speeds over 65mph are knocking it down. i have an LTV on the same sprinter chassis, and routinely get 17mpg or higher. my coach is larger a well. but i have to keep my highway speeds at 65mph or less to do it, and not have a headwind.
@@evquietcornerct3210 hi Paul I also have all terrain tires.. But yes I guess strong headwinds and high speeds don't help..
Nice camping.
Hopefully Alyssa will have a dog meal prep segment coming in the future vids.
Wish I was following ya'll , safe Travels ~peace~
He said it was 7,000 miles to Glacier Bay! Google said 3,700 miles! Good guess Poindexter!
just added the VC 4.3 at Owl in Denver to my Revel ,,makes a world of difference..be safe, have fun...what breed is that black dog?
How often do you stop to walk the dogs?
Why electric when it causes more pollution and uses more natural resources. Maybe go for being beamed or transported via levitation?
Where did you get your false information?
Is that a Tampa Florida shirt?
You don't have a ladder to get on top of your van and wash the solar panels
How big is your fuel tank? Have fun! I’d love to make that trip
What system are you using to carry the Maxtrax?
Iam from India 🙏 happy journey 🏠
Please show the food!
Are you gonna live stream at all? Would like to say hi when you go through calgary but need to know when you are here lol
👍✌️
Are the wheels original Revel stock or upgraded
OMG YESSS
Is Alyssa a Tampa Spartan? Commenting from Tampa. Enjoy!
3 stops and you haven’t gotten out of the state yet!
It will be really cool in a few years or so when you can take a Cyber Truck on this trip.
Well that is based on the CT being made. Better to use the R1T.
Make sure you do your research on grain free diet for your dogs!
Why Electric Vehicles? Do you know or care how Electricity is made?
Taco John is way way better then Taco bell if you ask me , but we all are diffrent :)
Hey Poindexter, where’s the radar detector?
The dog is situationally unaware he says!
The dog is plenty aware She wants to get away from your incessant diatribe!!
At first, your video looked interesting, so I clicked on it, but when you started talking about those ridiculous "electric cars", that was a big turn off, so I stopped watching.... Good luck advertising & supporting those things, but I want nothing to do with that.
Not trying to start controversy or down your altruism..
An overwhelmingly amount of electric charging stations use gas or diesel combustion generators to produce their electricity
You are going to Alaska which is a large petroleum-producing state... Those electric charging stations will get their current supply to buy diesel and or gas combustion generators
This is very inefficient and pollutes the environment even more
EV charging stations DO NOT use gas/diesel generators. They pull electricity from the local grid.
@@SpottedSharks where does the grid get it's electricity?
@@camposvazquez In the US, 60% from fossil fuels, 20% from wind/solar/hydro, 20% nuclear. There are no DCFC using a diesel generators. Stop spreading misinformation.
@@SpottedSharks let's start with the fossil fuels... How are the fossil fuels being used to charge electric vehicles?
@@camposvazquez No. Start by showing me a DCFC station powered by a diesel generator. Otherwise, you're a liar. Or admit you're wrong.
You are so much talking🐕🔊🔊
Please don’t tell us about the glow plugs and cold starts again. We know all about it.
I assume you can't get there by land unless you got 💉💉💉
Here we go, verbal diarrhea about to start!!
ELECTRIC VEHICLE'S LMAO GET REAL!
I stopped by your channel by chance. I won't be back due to your total disrespect of the flag by letting your dog sleep on it.
Malcom, there are worst things. Did you serve your country in the military? I think NOT!!!
So jealous. Stupid work! Stupid money!
Alyssa should make an OF
