Try to be in Death Valley for the 49ers Celebration in November - lots going on. Also plan to take Scotty's Castle tour - do the house if it's your first time. There's also an underground one that wasn't as interesting.
There are lots of places to spend a night on your way down 395 - an awesome highway, although in November you might find some closed, especially forest campgrounds. The private ones should be open.
Allow some time - at least a full day or two - in Lone Pine and do some movie set drives. Get a map from the visitor center. It's a beautiful area. Fill with fuel and stock up on groceries before heading into Death Valley.
November weather will be perfect for DV. Keep an eye on weather up in Reno and at Mammoth Lakes area on 395. Have a great trip.
