    My spouse and I recently rented a Winnebago Travato 59K for 8 days. I write the below knowing that there's not really much competition for this business and they're quite busy. When we watched the training video they sent, it was for the Travato Solis, which is significantly different (has a cassette toilet, and many different systems/features including interior & water heating). I called out of concern that they booked the incorrect RV, but was told that they use a Solis video as they're basically the same. I was eventually later told that the 59K is new to them, and discovered that they don't really know much about them and plan to discontinue them. The next chilly morning after camping in Hope, we went to turn on the interior heat and heat the water. The Trumi Combo system kept giving me error code "E6H" that I was eventually able to figure out online was something serious related to the wiring or circuitry. I called Great Alaskan and a technician was nice but wasn't able to help. Matt Miller called after a while and arranged for us to return to Anchorage (disrupting our itinerary to continue away from Anchorage) to exchange RVs. They did agree to credit us for one day due to our loss of vacation time. With the other RV, I wanted to make sure that the heat worked. The staff didn't know anything about the Trumi Combo system and brought in a technician/mechanic, who was clearly irritated and annoyed. When I asked about testing the instant heat feature, he rudely told me not to use it. Shortly afterward, the spout on the kitchen sink started popping off violently when turning on the water, often making a huge mess and one time scalding my spouse's hand when he grabbed the hot spout to try to stop it. We had to try to remember to hold the spout down when using the sink, which only left one hand free. Also, one of the shower curtains was off the rail and it took us about 1/2 hour to repair it as the hook was bent up. And the black water pull handle was missing, not a big deal once we figured it out as we used pliers. I advised them of those issues upon return. It seems they should be inspecting the vehicles better before renting them out. Although we received credit for having to exchange the RV, I submitted a claim for additional credit due to the kitchen faucet issue and turned it in. Upon following up via email, it appears that it was never turned in for processing, or ignored. After following up a couple more times, I was told that Mr. Miller denied the request. I know should have called it in and should have read the agreement requiring that, but didn't want to deal with it at the time as the only option would be to again return the RV for exchange or repair and I expected them to believe us and be reasonable -- especially with the amount of money we spent, paying in full 2.5 months in advance. While waiting for the airport shuttle, we asked staff twice about wi-fi and were curtly told that if a free SSID wasn't showing up (it wasn't, only their secured house one) then there isn't any. I know the staff was busy, but it seems like they could ask someone to fix it. The airport shuttle was awesome, and the driver was great to talk with. One other note, while waiting for the shuttle, we asked about looking at a Mercedes RV and were directed to the salesman. He responded by telling us they don't sell to non-locals (understandably) but also told us the price, which came off as though he assumed we couldn't afford one. I would rent from them again (and we loved the Travato 59K), but now know to inspect and test everything myself and immediately document and notify them of any problems (even if I don't want to return for exchange/repair).

    I don't understand all the bad reviews here, though I suspect a lot of them relate to the reality of RV holidays, vs anything specific to Great Alaskan. We rented a 32' Minnie Winnie for a two week trip earlier this year. I'm so glad I chose Great Alaskan over other operators for a number of reasons: (1) You can purchase insurance directly. I didn't want to have to go through my regular insurance - felt like too much of a pain. The extra piece of mind is totally worth it. (2) You can stay in the RV on the lot on the first night (if you arrive late) and the last night (if you have an early departure). This was incredibly handy for us and saved us a ton of money and inconvenience vs having to book hotels, additional transport, etc. (3) The RVs themselves are generally VERY new and have conveniences that other companies don't provide (such as slide-outs ,which make a huge difference to space), TVs, etc. Provisioning of the rv in terms of bedding, kitchen ware, etc, was also excellent. Our RV was immaculately clean when we arrived. Customer service the whole way through was excellent. Our only minor issue was when we got a flat tire in Denali. I had to change it myself (which was fine) but the provided jack was comically small for the size of the RV. I had to borrow a proper one from a neighboring camper. RVing is an amazing way to see and experience Alaska, and going with Great Alaskan gives you an opportunity to make the best of that experience. I would say that most of the rental RVs we saw on the road in Alaska were from Great Alaskan, and all of the other RV'ers we spoke to who rented from this company seemed very happy with their choice. And for anyone wondering, our itinerary was anchorage- Denali - Fairbanks - Kenny Lake (for Wrangell-St. Elias) - Valdez - (ferry to Whittier) - Seward - Homer - Anchorage. All in two weeks.

    We have owned several RV's over the years. Currently do not own one. I like to do research beforehand, as many of you do too. We rented fro GAH for 2 weeks. There were 4 adults in a 31k Minnie Winnie. Over the 2 weeks we drove 1750 miles and boon-docked 6 of the 14 nights and we had zero problems. Took 1000's of photos and have just as many memories. We arrived after hours, but they can arrange for you to stay in your camper over night. At first I was very disappointed because our original flight got in at noon and we could hit the road. But the airline changed our schedule. But, checking in like that gave us time to review everything. So really it worked out great as we could get all unpacked and situated before we hit the road. And make sure we know how to operate everything. Returning was just easy. Pull in, unpack, go over everything. Wait for the shuttle (it was barely anything for us) and off you go. We talked to many people on our trip that also used GAH and everyone loved them. And people also that bought from them. Everyone gave them rave reviews.

    These people are crazy! They just handed me the keys to an RV and said have fun. I had to watch a 30min video before driving off the lot. That was easy! The RV was given to me very clean. It was stocked with clean sheets and extra blankets. They provided a operating manual which was very helpful. The staff was all real nice and very friendly. When I did have an issue they got a tech on the phone right away who was able to help quickly. Again, they have to be crazy to let me rent an RV, but by some miracle everything went perfect. I didn't hit anything or anyone. Which is an amazing feat in itself. Had they looked at me Florida driving record I think they would have thought twice. Renting an RV and camping was really great. You are allowed camp anywhere in Alaska. It's so awesome to just pull over when you get sleepy and camp for the night. If these RV's were a little higher and 4 wheel drive. I would have been able to camp in some crazy spots. In conclusion, you should rent an RV from these guys and really experience Alaska on your own time frame with no boundary's!! I put about 800 miles in a 7 day time frame onto this RV. This really took my holiday from great to amazing!!

    Rating 4/5. (I always add a star to my ratings to help make up for all the people that only post negative experiences). Overall we had a great experience in Alaska and with this rental. I chose the 25B as it was on the shorter side and didn't have any slideouts to deal with. It was only a 10-day trip and my first time in a motorhome. It had plenty of space for two adults and two kids. A lot of storage underneath for our suitcases and plenty inside for our clothes, personal items and food/supplies. All the GAH personnel we met were friendly and professional. They are very organized with electronic sign boards and buttoned down procedures. Nevertheless that didn't prevent them from giving us a motorhome that hadn't had its tanks dumped. I pointed out the indicators showed half full before we left and was just told, oh it's the sensors that are faulty. Turns out it's true the sensors were crap (the gray tank never worked properly but the black did) but also true that they didn't dump it before renting to us. After minimal use and two short showers one day into the rental, water was backing up out of the shower drain. So having to deal with emptying the tank prematurely after never doing it before was a pain in the rear made worse by the fact that the drain hose had 3 small leaks in it causing "liquid" to squirt out like pinholes in a hose. Since we were heading back through Anchorage a couple of days later I stopped by GAH to get a new drain hose which they gave me without questions. They also gave me additional black tank deodorants without hassle due to the dump issue. I took advantage of their free dumping station but that was something of a mistake because there was a severely damaged hose laying there that -- stupid me due to lack of experience -- decided to use instead of the brand new one I had been given. That really let the sh*t fly. I'm just wondering why they would leave that there. Are the technicians watching and laughing among themselves? Another renter said he had just used it and crap was coming out like toothpaste so I wasn't the only one. I had to give my shoes a good rinse. Fortunately I had a second pair to wear while those dried. Check out procedures were pretty standard. As other reviewers state it's a good idea to check it over as thoroughly as possible. Besides the hose and dump problems, there were a couple knives missing that they replaced before we left. I had checked with my auto insurance and determined I didn't need to purchase anything extra. When I turned it in they didn't try to charge me for anything and returning the motorhome went smoothly. Other issues I had are related to the build quality of the Winnebago. I'm glad we got a 2020 model because I'm afraid of how beaten up a motorhome many years old would be. Even in 2020 there are surprisingly a lot of quality problems. Clearly Winnebago is trying to wring money out of their investments rather than fix basic quality and ease of use problems. Here are some of the things I saw that that should have been fixed a decade ago: - refrigerator door latch is not secure. Any lateral move it swings open. I finally "solved" it by wedging a piece of cardboard under the door to shore it up but not after having our pack of 2-dozen eggs from Costco get flung out cracking many. I guess another way that might work is not to put heavy stuff in the door but that's the best place to put cans & bottles. - drawers would get flung open by hard lateral movement. No I wasn't driving crazily but Alaska roads are full of uneven pavement that causes large movement even when moving slowly. This problem would be easily fixed with a better latching mechanism. After getting flung open, one drawer wouldn't properly shut for a couple of days no matter what I did but it somehow solved itself after a screw fell out. I ended up taping drawers shut with packing tape. - side screen door handle was broken when we got it. The guy from GAH said they couldn't get spare parts and assured me we wouldn't get charged for it. It was clearly a poor design and/or poor material choice since it's a handle that naturally gets pulled on to shut the door even though it's mainly intended for rotating to open the latch. - I already mentioned the black/gray tank sensors. Really? In 2020 they can't figure out how to make a reliable sensor? Fortunately the heater, water heater and refrigerator cooling worked well. In fact it got so warm in there I was always puzzled about why. Maybe the heat from the exhaust after a few hours drive? Or the cabin batteries getting warm? I did prepaid LP gas option. In hindsight I probably lost a few bucks since we certainly didn't use more than a gallon a day. But it wasn't that much extra and did save some valuable time on the way back to turn in the motorhome. We used the airport shuttle to get back to the airport after dropping off the motorhome at 5pm. No issues. Overall pleased. I would use them again.

    Check every corner of the RV before you sign the check-in paperwork!

I booked the day before, the morning of the owner texted me to confirm that I would be picked up at my Airbnb, Billy texted me notifying me when he was on his way. He was kind, responsive, full of information, considerate, and willing to tailor the speed and details to the needs of the group. He truly made this trip enjoyable. Van ride to the glacier is about 100 miles, we stopped at a gas station about half way. We stopped twice for two photo opportunities, and then made our way to the glacier gift shop to sign waivers. Then drove down to the launch point of the trek. There are ample bathrooms down there. Billy did not accompany us on the glacier but that was okay, our guide at the glacier was super sweet and knowledgeable. I felt more than safe! You walk across a floating bridge to get your microspikes and then we spent about 2-2.5 hours trekking the glacier. You do spend most of the hike on the rocky surface, but we did a pretty steep climb on the blue ice to get to the top of our area, we drank glacier water (amazing) and then saw the base of the glacier which was stunning. Post trek we returned to the tent and met up with Billy, he had snacks waiting for us and then drove us up to the lodge for lunch. After lunch we made the drive back, and again Billy was willing to accommodate different drop off points.

Hotel pickup was super helpful since we didn't rent a vehicle. Lori made a bathroom/coffee stop 45 minutes into the drive. We stopped at a local coffee shop which was so thoughtful instead of stopping at your typical gas station. Afterwards we arrived at our destination for the dog sled tour. We went during the winter and it gets very cold when you are moving on the sled! We are from Arizona so we didn't have snow boots or other items on hand. Luckily snow shoes, heavy gloves, beanies, etc were provided for us to change into so that we stayed nice and warm on the sled. We were paired up and got the chance to sit down and ride in the front of the sled which was perfect for taking videos and pictures. And the other person had the chance to stand up at the back of the sled. We warmed up with a delicious lunch at a nearby lodge and made our way back to Anchorage. Overall, we had such a great day thanks to Lori and the dog mushers. It was truly a one of a kind experience! Highly recommend 907 Tours.

Shane remedied the situation and did comp us a glacier margarita (thank you for that ) the crew was great , but management should reconsider the seating assignment versus the "you get what you get " or mitigate and prevent uncomfortable situations among the guests. However, the weather was great - our captain was great and the crew was great !

    I am thrilled to say I made it through Xxtreme Week 2015! The trip was more than I had hoped it…read morewould be and I would recommend Exposure Alaska and their great team. The trip was the perfect medicine to unplug me from an over-scheduled, over-programmed, and highly electronic career for a solid week. It pushed me mentally and physically, but never did I feel unsafe. I returned to work in a better frame of mind and with my whole body in a state of "a good kind of sore". Hats off to Don, and our guides (Sandra and Roz) who really made the stay wonderful. And, I never expected to be complimenting the camp food, but it was AWESOME!!! Sandra's breakfast burrito could be on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives! I am already thinking about coming up with a new itinerary for 2016 and going back to the Exposure Alaska crew for another week of killer Alaska wild.

    I just returned from the Xxtreme Week Adventure with Exposure Alaska and all I can say is WOW! I…read morefound this company through Mica Guides. I've travelled to all seven continents and have been on many adventure tours and treks over the years that have left me disappointed and wanting more, but this trip was definitely a trip to remember. As the name suggests, it is an extreme adventure trip that will push you physically and in some places mentally, especially since we had quite a bit of rain, and towards the end, some rain and sleet and a lot of wind, but if you're willing, it will be a trip you will not forget. Sandra (guide) and Roz (intern) picked me up from my hotel right on time along with the other members of the group before heading off to 3 days, 2 nights of sea kayaking. Through out our trip, we went white water rafting, hiking and ice climbing on the Matanuska Glacier, zip lining, and 2 days, 1 night of hiking along a mountain ridge line (I believe approximately 4600 ft at the peak) and back out through the valley. My group had 5 people, 1 guide (Sandra) and 1 intern (Roz) with group sizes maxing out at 6 people. As some of the other reviewers had mentioned, the guides were on the younger side (all relative of course, depending on your own age), however I didn't feel that they were inexperienced at all. Both Sandra and Roz had great energy and knowledge and never once did I feel that they didn't know what they were doing. They knew when and how to encourage each of us to get the most out of our adventure. The food definitely surprised me, as many nights we were in the wilderness, but you will certainly not feel like you're roughing it with the amount and quality of food. Without giving away any surprises, which there are at least one or two, the food is definitely top notch for this type of adventure trip. On our 6th day, we had an Alaskan style BBQ where Don, the owner came to join us. Leading up to the trip, Don replied to each and every one of my questions and concerns promptly, but for him as the owner to actually take the time to come out to meet our group and have dinner with us, chat and share stories showed us true Alaskan hospitality and definitely a sign of a great business owner. There are so many other highlights and people that made the trip great, from John Brown with Chugach Outdoor Center (white water rafting guide), Noah, who co lead the ice hike and ice climbing with Sandra, Ellie with her baked scones and cinnamon rolls, Mandy cooking the amazing Alaskan BBQ, and the Honey Bee Latte made by (forgot her name, but it was amazing). I would definitely recommend Exposure Alaska and their adventure tours for your trip to Alaska. It's a terrific way to experience the real Alaska and challenge yourself both physically and mentally and build friendships and experiences that you will carry with you for a lifetime. I will definitely be reaching out to Don and Exposure Alaska the next time I decide to head back to Alaska.
