My 2009 Forester doesn't have enough space for all the stuff I need for a 6 week camping trip from WV to the Dempster Highway and Denali, so I'm trying to learn whether a hitch-mounted carrier can take the strain of the 920 mile round trip gravel Dempster. Or do I need to get a small trailer? I have a class II hitch.
If I can avoid a trailer, it will make the encounters with the big cities more bearable. But if the hitch or carrier will break on the Dempster ....
Any knowledge/experience/advice appreciated.
