More about the book

Sharlene "Charlie" Minshall, a single, solo, full-time RVer for twenty years, criss-crossed North America countless times from Mexico to Labrador, Florida to the Northwest Territories. She toured Alaska and Western Canada five times for a total of two years. This fourth revision reveals "How to" chapters on where to stay, when to go, what to take, road conditions and distances, plus information on border crossing, communications, boondocking, safety, pets, and photography. Tips are scattered throughout the book. One chapter reveals the necessities, pitfalls, and approximate costs of flying into Alaska and renting a RV. "Why not" mapped chapters include all major paved and gravel roads as this author of six RV-related books leads you through her humorous misadventures with Katmai grizzlies, remote villages, the Aurora Borealis, Segway riding, dog mushing and canoeing the Yukon River. Whether you are driving a car, RVing, or an Armchair Adventurer, it is an exciting and helpful book. She is working on a new 5th edition book for 2016, along with an e-book edition.
