HWY 50
oldcat1 and ORbiker. You mention Hwy 50. Possible option.
I don't have any specific reason to go Interstate 80 to Reno, then to Salt Lake City, then to Moab. Going 50 ftom Sacramento to Moab is about 100 miles shorter but no big deal. I may take 50 to Moab and also on way home. Depends what feedback I get and additional research about 50 across Nevada.
Does anyone have info on Hwy 50 from Lake Tahoe across Nevada. How is the road? Two lanes or four, places to get diesel fuel, rv parks, etc. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Traveling with 40' 5th wheel, 2016 3500 Chevy dually, I will be putting a 61 gallon fuel tank in place of the 36 stock tank before leaving.
Thank you
Highway 50 is a good road, mostly 2 lane, but little traffic and usually passing lanes on inclines. However, this is called the loneliest road in the US for a reason. Towns are small and far between. I have never had any issue finding fuel, but if you need repair work (say on a diesel engine) you could find yourself far from a dealer/mechanic capable of doing the work, with no cell phone reception. Personally, I enjoy these out of the way places, but thats just me.
There is a LOT of straight stretches that look like this.
In front
Over the shoulder to the back.
Some stations look like this.
The flat long stretches are 20 to 25 miles or so and then the road goes up for a small strip of hills, then back down to another straight stretch.
Eureka is a very interesting old town.
