Durango to Montrose
Thinking about doing this trip with Motorhome and toad. Is this a route that any have done in a 38'?

Yes, I see there are a few who warn everyone not to take 550...
I've done both ways a half dozen times with both a FW and a motor home pulling a van on a dolly.
If you use your gears and not your brakes, no problems. If you're confident in your abilities in an urban construction zone with narrow lanes and immovable barriers, then 550 is no problem.
The drive across Lizard Head is a nice alternative if you're a Nervous Nellie, and probably a wash time-wise when you consider the slower speeds on 550.
