Travel advice needed

Hey guys , I will be traveling from Cameron park CA to kanab Utah, I have the choice between going down I-5 and cross over at Bakersfield towards Vegas or going up 50 to Tahoe over Carson city and then down 95 which is the shorter route. But is it better? I will travel beginning juli, so I need to consider heat as well and also hill climbs. Anybody got a suggestion which is easier for me and my vehicle, will be traveling with my loaded toy hauler. Thanks for any help.

The only real issues you will have is the traffic in Vegas, either way you choose. If you get out of Cameron Park early in the am on a weekday you should have minimal traffic on US 50 through Tahoe. US 95 is for the most part a two lane road with minimal traffic all the way to Vegas. The heat will be an issue in southern Nevada. At Silver Springs travel to Yerington and then over to Schurz to pick up US 95 as that saves a few miles in deference to going through Fallon. If you can time your Vegas travel to be after the morning commute and before the afternoon commute the traffic will not be as bad but it still is very heavy and not much fun towing.

As an alternate you might look at going to Tonopah on US 95 and then to the Panaca area and into Utah as that avoids Vegas and the drive is a little better from a scenery standpoint.
