A couple ideas I came up with are to buy a cheap class C with another couple. One of us drive it up and spend half the summer then the other couple fly up to spend their time and drive it back. Or sell it up there.
Or try to find a cheap van for sale, fly up, buy a mattress, campstove, potty, etc. and drive around then sell it up there.
Some of the areas we didn't get to are the Arctic sea, Juneau, Kodiak Island and other islands. The ferry went on strike when we were there.
If driving to and from Alaska you're limited to an early leave due to possibility of snow and ice through Canada. But buying/selling an RV in Alaska then flying home you're able to stay much later in the season. That gives you a greater possibility of seeing the northern lights. Also we wanted to do a trip to Tuktoyaktuk to see the polar bears.
If one were to drive a desirable RV to Alaska it could be sold there with ease and they one could fly back to the little states. I have first hand knowledge of this.
