You can sleep 5 with one kid on the floor.
Campers are great in Alaska. I rented one in Anchorage once. They can go everywhere, they are small and easy to heat.

I wouldn't even want to know what would have happened without safety chains or a breakaway cable (which didn't activate since the chains held it).


Glad nothing really bad happened, but it seems like your breakaway cable was incorrectly setup. I hope you’ve fixed it.


Yes, there was too much slack in it - about even with the chains. Regardless, that did not cause me any problems. In fact, if the trailer brakes would have locked up I think the outcome could have been worse.
