We got dressed, unplugged our rig, checked and double checked everything, buckled up, started the RV to warm up and it died. It wouldn't stay running. Here we were in Tok, Alaska, all packed for our long trip on the road and the RV wouldn't stay running. After several attempts we called AAA and asked for a tow truck but before I got off the phone, Mike managed to keep the RV running. Cancel the tow truck but keep AAA on speed dial!
Finally got on the road at 10:00 a.m. Concerned that the RV might not start again, we found a mechanic in Tok at Willards RV and Auto to take a look. The mechanic (very nice fellow by the name of Mike) took his meters and ran a bunch of tests but nothing showed problems. So he replaced our headlights and charged us $185.98 for his services.
Finally, we're back on the road at 1:00 p.m. and praying that the RV gives us no further problems. Came up on our first road construction at Tanana River Bridge. We prepared ourselves for bad roads and lots of construction through the Yukon. We stopped for lunch along the highway, relaxed, walked the dogs, enjoyed the scenery, and went to leave and the RV wouldn't stay running. Prayer, coaxing, more prayer and finally she stayed running and we're on the road again.
Crossed the Canadian Customs at 4:45 pm Alaska time, which was 5:45 Canadian. The roads were terrible with heaves, dust, gravel broken pavement, etc. We slowly made our way to Beaver Creek for gas and a short break. The weather was beautiful so we planned to drive to Burwash Landing before stopping for the night. Stayed at Burwash Landing Resort & RV Park for the night.
