I40 through Nashville on to Flagstaff!

Any problem areas to be aware of using the I40 from Nashville to Flagstaff?
  • When are you going? Won’t be too long before winter storms start dropping down to I-40.
  • Kingman is not between Nashville and Flagstaff.

    I just drove our motorhome with tow car on I-40 from Nashville to Flagstaff a week ago. No problem at all. Some areas have been repaved, so not as bad as used to be. Was quite a pleasant and easy drive. Wind can be a problem though, so check the weather.

    By far, the worst part of my trip was on I-17 between Flagstaff and Sedona. Now that rattled my fillings!

    We stayed at Walmarts along the way, as well as Rockwell RV Park in Oklahoma City and USA RV Park (as kalynzoo mentioned) in Gallup NM. Both good and easy stops.
  • Just make sure all the filling in your teeth are checked. The 40 near Kingman was really a mess. There are plenty of potholes on the 40 can can do tire damage at least. Sorry, I cannot offer an alternate, the highways are all experience differed maintenance. Just take it easy and be careful. Places we enjoyed stopping: USA RV park, Gallup, American RV in Albuquerque, Circle of Pines KOA in Williams. Enjoy
