Dalton highway - truck camper

[Cowbell]

Three of us are renting a rig for the dalton hwy. Tempted to get a 4x4 truck with camper in the bed for convenience, especially for when it rains. Anyone on here with experience with this? Renting from GoNorth.

My buddy and I are planning something similar for next year.

 

[Cowbell]

Anyone use Go North? - uhaul is not an option for us at this time.

 

[DLIP]

Interested in this as well.

Hit me up after Labor Day and I will have some insight as we just booked one. Very reasonably priced.

Camper like a slide in? Or a canopy?
Campers don't like rough roads, but the truck will ride better. The truck will get stuck easier. If you have to move way over for industrial traffic, it's easier to fall off the road into the ditch...and harder to get back onto the road.

Thank you. Never used one of these slide in campers but we didn't have many options.

Cowbell, how did you fare with the truck rental? Were there any unforseen issues that you ran into that hadn't been thought of prior to the trip? Interested in this route as well as compared to an air transporter.
