From what I remember, 89 going north from Flagstaff wasn't too bad until we got past where 89A breaks off. It seemed like from there to Page we were beaten to death by the seams in the road. We felt like we were being shaken to death. Then as we headed west on 89 from Page to Kanab it was just as bad. I remember slowing down to 50 mph or so and driving with my curb side tires almost over the line to soften the ride. Now, one thing I should mention is this was our first MH, a national Sea Breeze 32' class A, and our first extended trip. We obviously were not used to driving or riding in a motor home. So maybe we were overly sensative. For our return to Phoenix we opted to take the Las Vegas route home, and enjoyed that drive much more than the trip up. I guess it would be interesting to drive that original route again and see how it compares now that we are more familiar with driving a coach. I'd like to head back up to southern Utah to see Bryce Canyon, but I don't think I could convince the DW to take that drive again.
