Best route from Carlsbad NM to San Antonio TX
We are pulling a 38 ft Carriage fifth wheel and were planning to take Hwy 285 from Carlsbad to I-10 into San Antonio. Does anyone have any current information on the condition of Hwy 285 southbound? ...

I cannot specifically address hwy 285 but that entire area has had a lot of rain recently and combining that with the heavy truck traffic on some of these secondary roads does create problems. I just came through Carlsbad this afternoon and it was clear there but still lots of storm clouds in the general direction of 285.
Not sure what alternate was suggested but if you go South on 62/180 toward GMNP you could take hwy 54 to Sierra Blanca and pick up I-10 there. It is longer but may be in better shape.
Sorry that I could not give you more specific info on 285, but if it seems too bad just slow down and try to ease along through the rough parts. Do watch for water on the road and along the shoulders though.
