The bugs remind me of "Love Bug season" in Florida. We never travel in or out of Florida during that time.
Loved the adventure! I made the trip in 2017 and enjoyed very much looking forward to going back some day,
Glad you enjoyed it! We can't wait to return!
Just dscovered your channel; yesterday. I binge watched the Alaska trip series last night and today. Great series. Well done. Looking forward to our adventure going north, (way north).
Thank you for watching, we greatly appreciate it! Good luck on your adventure, safe travels!
I put a bug screen on my truck before leaving for Alaska and was so glad I did. Kept the bugs not only onff the front of the truck but out of the radiator. We met a couple in Palmer that their motorhome overheated and blew the engine because of excessive dust clogged the radiator fins. I see you got a cracked windshield. We were lucky and only got one little bullseye.
That bug screen is a great idea! May have to do that next time!
Nice trip and yes a lot of wildlife on the Alaska highway !
It was really cool to experience all the wildlife!
We spent $3500.00 to have our under carriage rebuilt in Anchorage Alaska. Our island dropped breaking Drain. Hung to Mountain Bikes from ladder an ripped it off. 6 years full time its gotten better. I do all repairs now. Retired Jack of all trades. Lol. Safe Travels From Show Me RV Adventures. Clayton&Denise
Wow that's a big repair to have to have done! It's amazing how fast you get at doing fixes yourself after full timing for a bit :) Safe travels!
Been watching a lot of Alaska trips lately, came across you guys and decided to spend some time watching your adventures. The wife and I went to Alaska back in 2018. Live in the UP of Michigan near Gladstone and we spent 95 or so days from last week in May till the first week in Sept. Had a fantastic trip with no problems with out Jayco fifth wheel but had three problems with the 04 Chevy 2500. Blew a relay outside Duluth and were able to get that fixed at our friends house we stopped at. Blew a water pump in Grande Cache. NO auto mechanic in town and no parts store. Found a oil truck repair shop and they got us back on the road. Then at the end of the trip, the last day in Alaska, at Tok, we lost an injector with smoke and overheating all 3800 miles back home. Total of 11750 miles. Made it home and now I'm looking for different adventures the next time we head that way. Best trip I've taken. Looking forward to seeing how yours went. Thanks for sharing. Big Packer fan and I like cheeseheads.
Thankfully you made it safely. I am happy our mishaps didn't halt our travels at all. We will have future video on updates about the repairs. The UP is beautiful, that was one of our first RV adventures when we started out.
Even though we traveled and stayed mostly in rv parks, the boondocking was great due to any highway pull off big enough to handle the rig.
That was one of our favorite parts of the road.
Man great video. We just really noticed your logo love it all the best to you guys.
Thank you very much!!
I hope you get your RV fixed soon.
Thank you!
Ya sorry Edmonton is always road work, It's our cold weather kills the roads. To bad you couldn't have stayed in Edmonton for a day and hit up West Edmonton Mall. Maybe next trip through. Safe travels
We will make note of that for next time! We are familiar with cold weather ruining our roads in Wisconsin as well!
You might have a crack frame with those symptoms. Hope it is not and just a miss aligned slide. Best of luck and safe travels.
I'm very afraid you might be right...
@@5Towaways that slide was definitely off though.
Will have a video coming soon on repair updates. Stay tuned, thanks for watching!
We looked at over 12 Paradigms a couple years ago brand new in dealers lots, they were literally falling apart in many areas. Hopefully you're all fixed up by now, my understanding is there was some blame on lippert in this case and affected many manufacturers.
Yes! Thankfully we were able to get into the factory for repairs! Even though we had the issue, overall we've been very happy with our Paradigm and haven't had too much go wrong that we couldn't handle. Alliance did treat us very well in regards to getting it fixed. We have a video on this experience if you want to check it out! Thank you for watching!
Oh gosh those bugs, unreal
It was like something out of a horror film HAHA
Hey guys! What think is your problem you have a broken wall studs, welds are craks so the stud is loose. When you find out what it is make a video, that is a common problem. Safe trip :)
We will be having an repair update video coming. This is one of our thoughts as well :)
Looks like some shot at you. We have few guns hit our rig in Canada.
Really, is this common in Canada? that crossed our minds due to it looking like a bullet hole. But never thought that it could actually happens!
On the bedroom sidewall panel bulge… ouch. 😳
I hope it’s nothing majorly structural. 🤞
Update video will be coming soon! Stay tuned :)
This truck washes you just have to be careful they don’t use the harsh chemicals like they do on the semi trucks. Those are not good for a gel coat.
We always make sure they don't. We've used them quite a few times now and so far, no problems! :)
How long is the Alliance warranty?
1 year full and 3 year structural. We also opted to get an extended warranty when we bought.
Other Rv er’s had the same issue, it’s a frame issue , I know your videos are way behind most likely but please have the front torn down and the frame checked for cracks
We've heard this is an issue with Lippert frames. Alliance took care of us and we will have updates in future video!
It’s Eternabond just to let you know.
That stuff works wonders! Thank you!
Rvs are not built for trip to Alaska. When my neighbor went he left his fifth wheel home and bought a truck camper, he said that it would tear the fifth wheel apart. Apparently he was right.
Every single RV sold in Alaska makes the trip to Alaska.
We went into the trip knowing things could break. At least it wasn't anything that stopped our travels and we were able to get them resolved. We plan to do it again as well!
@@Registered_Nomads that should be the EV’s test course. Then they could put a sticker on it, Alaska trip tested.
Totally agree, for any vehicle/RV!
How old is your 5er? Alliance should totally take care of you with full repairs. Had the opportunity to speak with one of the owners of Alliance RV at the Novi Michigan RV show. He seemed like a very stand up guy and assured me that their warranty and service is second to no other manufacturer. He didn't seem like a scumbag liar just trying to make a sale. Keep us posted on what happens with this. And Alliance if you're listening, it's time to back up your pricing and your claims about your company. And if you get the run around we will know that we were just bs'ed by another scumbag liar in the RV business........... Just sayin. These people made their beds with public opinion. Now they need to prove to us that they want to change and want to do better for their customers. Safe travels to you two!
It is a 2021. We will have updates coming in a future video on the repairs. We're quite a ways behind on posting currently. But, we can say that we have had great experience with Alliance and they do stand behind the product :)
I hate to say or suggest this but the craftsmanship in America stinks. Everything in my home is from an Asian country and it never has a problem but my rv in the back yard always has an issue.
RV's all break, but at least Alliance stands behind their product, which has been great!
@@Registered_Nomads I own a solitude and I’ve never had trouble with them either but these thing are generally junk rolling down the road .
True that, it's basically an earthquake each time you travel. We like the solitudes, and have heard good things about GD as well! Safe travels!
Yea. Pretty sure you have a broken frame.
We will have an update video coming soon!
