I thought I had posted on this but guess not.
We love the 395. Have driven it several times both ways between just west of Barstow (Hwy 58 junction) to Alturas where we pick up Hwy 139.
In fact, God willing, we will be doing it again next year.
Going north I would recommend Boulder Creek in Lone Pine (lots to see including Mt Whitney, west entrance to Death Valley w/o rv, Alabama Hills, etc), Mona Vista in Lee Vining (can access Yosemite from the east there and get to Bodie State Park for sure and get fuel anyplace other than Lee Vining unless things have changed)and Likely RV Park (nice, small place with golf course if you like and the General Store in L V is amazing - get downstairs to see things as well and their fuel was cheaper there than in Alturas the last time we were thru.
Road is good two lane with passing lanes in many areas as needed. Plenty of fuel stops as well.
Enjoy - be safe.
