Kansas travel

DH and I are heading west to spend some time in southern California with our daughter's family. Good old Google Maps has directed us to a route that cuts off a good bit of travel by angling us from Wichita west/southwest on federal highways 400, 54 and 183. The route eventually intersects with I-40 at Tucumcari, NM and the route is familiar from there.

Has anyone done much traveling on 400, 54 and 183 in Kansas and a bit of Oklahoma?
  • 400 East of Wichita is very good. There is no reason to believe it is any different west of Wichita.
  • 54 is a fairly good highway all the way to Tucumcari. I don't see the other two roads you mentioned. Several years ago, we stayed at a pretty nice RV park in Dalhart, on 54 as you are entering the town. Corral RV park. It was nice and clean and well shaded with big pecan trees when we were there.
