Hwy 89A in Northern Arizona

Looks like they may be enforcing the 30’ limit.

not for 38 footers. lots of hair pin turns and narrow road.

IF you are referring to the section of 89A from Flagstaff to Prescott it's not a road for RVs except small ones. We've used 89A for the North Rim w/o issues.

Update: 89A between Sedona and Cottonwood is fine for large RVs and there are many off road camping sites which can be reached from several roads off of I17. The Red Rock Ranger District Visitor Center has an excellent map. I would also not take the 89A out of Cottonwood through Jerome.

Not fun when we did it several years ago. Friend bought some property in Sedona and wanted us to stop by and take some photos for him. He lives in N Georgia. We did not have a towed that trip and we left Sedona headed to Flagstaff and eventually the Grand Canyon. I believe they have added more shoulders to part of that road and guard rail. Some of the hairpin turns going north were scary with just the 36' Winnebago. I was lazy and didn't want to go back down South on 179 to get to I-79 just to turn north again. When we got to Flagstaff we turned back south to spend the night in Munds Park.
If don't HAVE to do 89A I suggest you look at the scenery on I-17 a leave autos and PU trucks to 89A.

The stretch between Sedona north to Flagstaff has had a 50' maximum restriction for years but now with all of the ongoing construction/repairs they dropped it back to 30 feet {nothing over allowed}. As noted they have always enforced it. It is a gorgeous stretch of road but take your toad unless your coach is under 30' total length.

:C

If you are talking about the road from Flagstaff to Sedona, do not do it in a big rig.

I am all in favor of adventure, and I don't shy away from difficult roads. But that road is not designed for big RVs.

HorseDoc, we are coming south out of Utah going to The Paiute campground near Fredonia, AZ. Was thinking about Hwy89A over to Page. After reading these posts, I think we'll take Hwy89 across Utah down to Page. Thoughts on that? I noticed we both joined RV.net in September of 2002. I beat you by 12 days LOL...

We've taken that section of 89A w/o any issues. Highly recommend you see North Rim.

CA Traveler, do you drive a big rig and are you saying Hwy89A across to Page?

Yes, profile was in a earlier post. 89A is OK for the N Rim and 89 is better for a direct route.
