Utah route from Torrey to Bryce Canyon ?
My trip planning software has me going on UT 12 south from Torrey, UT to Hwy 17 (Old Escalante Rd) to Hwy 22 and back to UT 12 to Bryce Canyon. Does this route handle a 38 ft Class A w/toad? Than...

We always taken 12 all the way, good road but some serious grades before Escalante. We have never had any trouble but once got a engine hot warning when we stopped at the overlook and shut the diesel down without cooling it down. Lesson learned.
Did the Torry-Bryce route last year.
What your fellow Floridan said. Lot of ups and downs. The grade before Escalante is marked at 14% and is twisty. Steep part isn't that long. I started down it and the DW headed to the dinette and put her head in a pillow, just before the grade sign, thankfully. When the worse was over she popped back up and all was fine.
Overall the road has some rough sections but better than some Interstates. Shoulders aren't much to speak of, just be aware of your driving.
