Oatman
In two weeks I will be traveling from Barstow to Kingman via Oatman. I have a 24' C (Born Free). I have heard that the road east out of Oatman is steep and has many bad turns. True? Suggestions?

We drove it last June West/Oatman to East/Kingman with our 36' Diesel Pusher towing a Jeep CJ5 behind us. We had no problems. Speed limit varied between 25 & 35 mph. Nearly all hairpins had plenty of vision when you watch across the mountainside for the oncoming traffic. Only encountered a couple of mining trucks. If they fit you do & they are great drivers. Hill grades are not bad since you are going so slow in mostly in 2nd & 3rd. It was a GREAT drive/views and would do it again. Just take your time and enjoy the drive. It is not a drive for a newbie or nervous driver. Remember to use the pull-outs to let the traffic behind you past, there are plenty.
