If you have never driven a motorhome
before, no problem. All of our motorhomes are Class C “cab-overs” and
most of our guests tell us it’s as easy as driving
a car. Here are answers to some common questions to help
you become more comfortable with your home on wheels.
Will
my RV be hard to drive?
No—it will be similar to driving a van or a pick-up. For most of our
guests, this is a first experience with an RV, and they give us high ratings
for “ease of driving.”
I
haven’t driven an RV before. Will you teach me
what to do?
Yes; every guest is given a very thorough orientation on operation of the RV
before setting out. You’ll be able to reach us at our toll-free Roadside
Assistance number if you have further questions. 
Just
what will my RV be like?
How big and what layout?
Our fleet of Class C motorhomes are late-model, with 5-speed automatic overdrive
transmission.
Depending on the size of your
party, your preferences and vehicle availability, it
will be between 21 and 31 feet long, and will sleep 2
to 6 people. The larger models provide plenty of room
and privacy for families and other guests.
What’s
the driver’s cab like?
You have a tilt wheel, two captain’s chairs with arm rests, power assisted
steering, ABS power brakes and cruise control. The turning radius is remarkably
short so driving will be easy, comfortable and safe. The cab has air conditioning
and AM/FM stereo with CD player.
How
about the living area?
All our RVs have a shower, bathroom, full galley, dinette, storage areas,
and comfortable beds. They have roof air conditioning and a furnace with automatic
thermostat control, water heater, range with oven and/or a microwave oven and
a large refrigerator/ freezer. In short, all the comforts of home.
What
about housekeeping
supplies and equipment?
If you’re on an Alaska Highway Cruises package, just about everything
you need is supplied: towels for bath and kitchen, sheets, blankets and pillows.-The
kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, utensils, glassware, flatware, serving
and storage dishes, electric toaster and an automatic coffeemaker. Alaska Motorhome
Rentals charges a nominal fee for a housekeeping package.
How
is the driving in Alaska?
Much like driving any two-lane rural highway in the “Lower 48”.
There’s less traffic and more road construction. Roads are sometimes
bumpier. Some Alaska Highway Cruises itineraries include limited travel on
unpaved highways where paved ones are not available. In your documents package
we give you helpful driving hints, and will update you on road conditions for
your specific itinerary when you pick up your RV.
What
if I need assistance?
You’re not alone out there. You may call our special toll-free number,
16 hours a day, 7 days a week for Roadside Assistance. We’ll help you
solve the problem, or refer you to someone who can.
