Death Valley
Going to be in the Death Valley area in mid May. Can you drive through the park in a 40' RV with tow comfortably without problems coming from Beatty, NV to Lone Pine, CA.

I've done it towing a 5er, it was, well, cool. Rain when we went over the pass that changed to snow while we were in Lone Pine.
I don't recommend it, period.
This forum has a former CalTrans employee that strongly does not recommend it.
That retired caltrans employee would be me. May Temps in the valley will be hovering around one hundred degrees. I have seen hone hundred twenty degrees at nine in the morning. Mid seventies at night. It just isn't worth the risk. That road is hard on RV's hot brakes and overheating are common and I have seen them on fire. Help is a long way away.
