They are definitely allowed on the Denali Highway. We passed several that had pulled off the road for what appeared to be the night before.

They also rent RVs....probably more RVs than SUVs actually and they permit their rentals to travel on the Denali Highway. You would need to check with the rental company you rent the RV from to see if they permit them.
