I think Honda has a metal theft deterrent "shield" of sorts that attached to the handles to make it more difficult to cut through the handles,

I have it cable locked but I going to put a piece of stainless rod I have laying around and secure to the handle with stainless hose clamps. That will make it a 15-20 min job and should deter everyone except the person that's going to get it no matter what.

How exciting. Hope you have a blast and everything goes smooth on your trip. I would like to take a road trip to Alaska one day too!

[bgermane]

That is my "dream" trip. I look forward to following your posts. Have fun and be safe.

Wow...I'm jealous. Maybe one day for me. Until then I'll be watching you posts.

We did alaska in 2012 from San Diego with a 29 foot Cougar travel trailer. We now have a 2015 Pinnacle and will do trip again. We were on trip for 3 months. Here's our blog from then and you can see stuff we did along the way. There's lots of detail in the blog. If anyone wants a spreadsheet including miles, activities and campgrounds, send me a private email. Sparcat@gmail.com.

Great, thanks. I'll read it.

Sounds like an exciting adventure. I would love to do that sometime. Be careful and from what I've been reading, you may need a boat to get out of Texas!

God's blessings and safe travels........looking forward to your progress postings.

On my eu 3000 is I put a piece of 5/8" rebar through the gen rack holes and through the "legs" on the gen and welded the bar to the rack. I didnt plan on using it around the house. And if I need it off I can cut/grind the welds easy enough.......BTW, I bought my Octane with an Alaska trip in mind. I tried a couple of times to do the pipeline road (Dalton) on my BMW 1200 gs adventure , but never made it. I'm in NY and I would need at least the same 2 months as you. So my trip will probably have to wait till I retire. Good luck! I'm jealous.

Wow! What an adventure!! We spent two weeks here in 2008.
Tunnel Mountain Campground
Very highly recommended. Elk and deer wander right through the grounds most evenings.

Have a wonderful trip!!
