We are former fulltime RVers living the dream in Southcentral Alaska after rving to Alaska for several summers as visitors. Through RVing to Alaska we now help educate on the RVing to Alaska topic to help other RVers make the journey themselves via several social media outlets. Our channel topics includes not only the RV lifestyle, tips and tricks, camping locations, and business reviews in Alaska but also covers living the Alaska Life. We are currently working on transitioning all Alaska Life content to a new channel, @LivingFreeAlaska, so please join us over there the link is below. ⤵️

Wintertime Living in Alaska: Catching up the Vlog (FEB'22) ❄🏡
Thanks for the video. I’m interested in the 290 Adventure and wondering if you could confirm loa from tip of anchor to rear of engine. Is this 32’? Manufacturer website says 31’-11” and don’t know if the includes overall length. TY!
Gary says its around 34ft. We once parked in a 30ft slip and we definitely stuck the bow way into the dock space and couldn't board from the stern because it was way beyond the dock finger.
So when we have 3 dogs ? It's a no go ?
You’ll be fine. We are a 3 dog family now ourselves and am not worried. New requirements however have changed but we will be updating that later this winter.
@@RVingtoAlaska we are moving from Oregon in couple of years. We have cats too. Oh boy. lol.
I took the Kennicott ferry from Bellingham to Juneau this summer. I slept on deck outside the solarium in my hammock. It was a fantastic experience.
what brand of ceiling fishing rod holders do you have in your boat?
Best Alaska Ferry videos I’ve seen , thanks !
Thank you.
I like your videos. I do have to say that the family you pointed out and was parked at the Yukon, were Neither Overnighting, Nor Camping in that spot. In your video there is no sign of camping. No slides are opened, no chairs or people setting camp and you yourself said it is a "Yukon Rest Area". Most likely, as I do, they got there either earlier and are waiting to go in, or they are just on their way somewhere else and decided to stop and maybe walk around and stretch before continuing their trip. Just be a bit more mindful. 😊
Alaska is Gorgeous
Do you have to pass a NICS background check to ship your own firearms to Alaska?
I love the parking antics at Meziadin Lake Park. Classic!
Denali Highway was one of our highlights. Absolutely beautiful. We camped at Tangle Lakes CG, also boondocked five nights nearer to the Cantwell side. We came in from each side, but drove to the middle, so we can say we did the whole thing!
Get well Gary!
Sorry don’t due videos over 30 min
Thank you for showing us your cruise adventure! We are doing this in June. We recently learned our ship was changed to the M/VKennicott from the M?V Colombia. Question, were there temp campers? We are planning to tent on the ship and I haven't found many images of people tenting aboard the Kennicott as we did on the Colombia ship.
Yes. In one of our videos in this series we give a full tour including the tent areas.
Watching a day late but it was so informative! We are coming in July 2025! Glad we heard about dry Glennallen! 🍻
Greetings from Dawson City. I really liked your video. Come visit me to see the winter😊🖐🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Is there a way you could overlay a map when you’re talking about a specific area? Maybe in a corner. I’m really learning a lot.
Hi I am happy to see you. Happy to see you after your knee is going well.
this was nothing I hadn't already read on the Web sites for Canada and Us.
Awesome!
Really appreciate your content and first hand recommendations. Thank you!
Love the new microphones, you sound great, so much clearer! Thank you!!

Is the Great Alaskan Bush Company still there?😀 was stationed there in the mid 80s
Hahaha yes it is. Haven’t been there but know for a fact it’s still in operation. 😂😉
Fun times in the Coast Guard there(kodiak) we would stay in Anchorage when our planes couldn’t make it back to the base due to weather.
Great video! We just got the same kayak for our Alaskan 2024 trip! Thanks for all you do!
Snowmobile Tour looks fantastic. This is a definite on our Alaska Trip Planning.
Oh my stars and garters!! That looks like fun!! You really had some fun activities and those paintings looked fantabulous!! But what is a wadd dinger??!! And how do you make them??
To enjoy life and pleasures, or to be skinny and sad. 😂😂😂
I missed the live show, but got to watch it today. Thanks for doing these!
Thanks for the tour , my only comment would be you spend to nuch time talking into the camera lens your self. You could be talking while showing the beautiful sights.
I love RVing to Alaska so much! Inspiring and such a wonderful peek into local fun❤Thank you!!
I never get tired watching your videos. You guys are now my favorite of all time. Thank you for taking all of us with you on your adventures since Spokane, Washington to Alaska. Wishing to meet you guys in Alaska in the future.only our dear Lord knows when. cheers and may our dear Lord continues to bless you and all subscribers out there.🙏💝🙏
Awe Thank you! Hopefully you have found our other channel because we will only be posting RV content here in the future... all Alaska living shennanigans will be on our @LivingFreeAlaska channel. Thanks for watching!!! 🥰
That campground looks nice. It looks like a lot of fun.
How deep did you screw into the roof panel? Were you worried about going too deep and puncturing your air duct?
lovely series. Just🥰 getting caught up since i'm new to your new channel which is wonderful imho
🤣🤣🤣ahahaha Edith Ann and her boyfriend 🤣🤣🤣 Edith Ann is Lily Tomlins character from Laugh In in the 60's
Just a tad disappointed in this live. I have learned so much from the prior ones and this one seemed disjointed and not prepared. Spent too much time just reading comments. I have great notes from the prior lives though!
I apologize. I was coming down with a cold and my head really wasn’t functioning. It finally caught me today and have been in bed all day. Will work to be better prepared next time. Not everyday is a home run! Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much for replying. I hope you feel better soon. Maybe Gary needs to make you a big pot of Chicken Soup.
He DID! LOL It was very yummy and helped a little. 🥰
whoa scarry mountain
I tore mine also!! Two years ago and then at this Christmas playing basketball. This last time really tweaked it. Surgery scheduled. No brace. Been strengthening the leg muscles. Good luck!
Do they honor the 3 year rabies vaccine so if my dog was vaccinated 1.5 years ago is that good?
Yes they do.
OK, lots of basic info, but you can review the ferry without constantly pointing the camera at yourself. About 50 percent was of you rather than the boat; Not good. Otherwise, bon voyage.
We are a vlogging channel... thats what we do... we tell stories of our experiences. With 11,000 others enjoying our content... I think we are doing it right! Thanks for watching and Bye Bye!!! 👋
Wow leaving that house is no doubt hard. Hope your family finds happiness in Alaska. God bless.
That is so beautiful view love it
Hello from Philly. First your voice in your voice pvers is soothing. I love it. Now in philly we don't get the level of snow y'all do, however I get my wheels spinning... My husband was a roofer... he used to throw shingles in the back of my car... for winter... I worked at a peds hospital in university city... so hours were long & getting stuck made commute super long. Always packed food & water & shingles. I95 was a bugger..
Glad you enjoyed it! Be sure to check out our new Alaska Life channel @LivingFreeAlaska if you are enjoying the everyday living content as we won't be uploading Alaska Life content here anymore... we will only post RV related videos in the future.
where did you stay in motorhome?
At Beverley Beach State Campground just up the road from Newport.
🤣 Definitely practicing!!! 🤣 ❤. Love it!
I just wanted to say what a loving daughter you are to your mom! I grew up without parents and I love seeing mothers and daughters together ❤ p.s I cried when she had to go home. You ladies look so beautiful together.
🤣. He’s definitely a happy camper! 😜
