Driving thru Yosemite with 5th wheel

Any issues with this. Going east thru the park pulling fiver with my dodge in sig.

Anything I should know? 5th is 31 foot at 9500lbs on axles. Truck pulls it well.I have done lots of mountains, just not this road. thanks

    Sport 45 is right. Good roads too.
  • Google Maps says to go to Bakersfield and then over to Vegas and up. Quickest isn't through Yosemite.
  • I am in CAL now and need to go east.....to home. I am in Sequoia N park now. Would like to get over to Great Basin NP in the quickest way possible.
  • Took my 37'er thru there with no problems. Came in from the north and left from Fishing Bridge to the east.

  • I recall seeing on the news recently something about road closures in Yosemite, but I do not recall which one's or for how long. I think one was Hwy. 140, but I believe it has reopened. Might want to check with the park people to be sure before you have to turn around somewhere. Have a good trip.
  • Are you talking about going east through the park via Tuolumne Meadows? If so the you might be going up and into the Park via Tioga Pass Road (SR 120), that's another story altogether.

  • It can be done using the primary roads. Some of the secondary roads leading to sight seeing spots or campgrounds may be too tight.
