I've done about six round trips, to the point that I was getting bored with the scenery, which takes some doing. Now I prefer to ride the Alaska State Ferry from Bellingham Washington to Whittier in Alaska.
Fastest I ever did was Fairbanks to Massachussetts in five and a half days, but I basically never got out of the car except to pee. A more normal trip is five or six days from the state of Washington (or Montana, if you prefer to drive through Alberta instead of BC) to the the Alaskan border.
If you're really curious, go on Amazon.com and buy a publication called The Milepost, which gives you all the route information you could hope for including mile-by-mile information (updated yearly) on services, camping, points of interest, road conditions, and every other obsessive detail that 80-year-olds in $300,000 Winnebagos want to know before they hit the road.
