Perhaps sell it in Skagway, and hop on the Alaska State Ferry back to Bellingham, WA.
The ferry stops at the tourist places like Juneau and Ketchikan, but also the out-of-the-way little towns like Petersburg.
The ferry has cabins, or room out on the rear deck for tents. Food is available on board, with excellent whale watching.

The summer I was in 6th grade one of my classmates drove all the way to Canada and back. They had a pickup truck with a topper on it and took all summer, camping the whole way up and back. He gave a slide show of the trip to our class. Ever since then it's been a bucket list item to drive the length of the Alaska-Canadian highway and explore Alaska. Especially if I could do it in a renovated Airstream RV.
Now I can add another bucket list item to that trip and dream of taking the ferry back. What a journey that would be. I took the ferry from Victoria to Port Angeles after a cruise once, and my wife and I agreed that someday we would love to do a long ferry ride along the coast.
