Oregon 242 126 Sisters to Eugene RV friendly?
Drove it in a car years ago and remember it very pretty. Forgot details of the road .. Would you drive a 99" wide 24' C over it? If it isn't suitable what would be a good alternate route?

Sorry -- diazr2.....I disagree. Do NOT take a large RV on it. Last year a large RV got stuck going around a hairpin curve. There is not a hell of a lot they can do to get the rigs out of there. And you'll face a HUGE fine. I doubt very much you're talking about the same highway. The 24 foot C CAN do it, it will be hairy to put it mildly.
on edit: DH looked up info. Here's from the ODOT website......
"The McKenzie Highway has two travel lanes and narrow shoulders within a consistently narrow roadbed. The paved width is about 17 feet. Because of the narrow width and sharp curves throughout the route, vehicles longer than 35 feet are not permitted. The grade is generally moderate to steep (estimated between one and six percent), and the asphalt concrete surface is in fair to poor condition"
Consider your rig is probably 8 foot wide....meet another one rig on the road and you are REALLY having a scary time.
