Nevada
Crossing Nevada in a 36 ft MH towing is Highway 50 a bad way to go from Fallon to Ely into Utah or would you go Highway 80 I see on the map 50 shows some high peaks?

- Officially classified as the loneliest road in America but safe for towing coaches. Any changes in elevation are moderate and acceptable.
- We love this road and travel it often. There is one fairly steep climb as you come into Austin and also on the east side as you leave Austin headed to Ely. It is about 6 - 10 miles grade of good 2 lane road, but very doable with any current RV. After you leave Ely, there is a long but not real steep downgrade as you head to the UT line and then another, about 22 miles into UT, as you descend into the great basin NP area. There is lots to see on US-50 so don't miss it.
Also, stay on the top half of your fuel, as there can be many miles between stops, but there are plenty of fuels stations in all the towns along your way. We generally fuel in Carson City, again in Ely at the Indian truck stop and then the Flying J in Scipio at I-15. - I have traveled Highway 50 years ago with a TC I don't remember the summits at all. I do remember the loneliness of that road. Mile and miles of nothingness. Makes you feel like your the only person on the planet. Peaks Nope don't remember them being a problem. Miles of nothingness. Plenty of that. You keep thinking if I break down here who is going to come and get me?
