A customer's recommendation:
"For your safety, comfort and relaxation, don't try to travel too far on your first day while still recovering from the long flight to Alaska.  It's best to begin your motorhome adventure by not expecting too much of yourself.  Purchasing groceries, settling in and familiarizing myself with the new motorhome combined with a drive of no more than 75-miles works well for us.  We actually enjoy spending that first day exploring part of Anchorage.  This sets the tone for a relaxing vacation."
