I am traveling to Lake Isabella from LA pulling a 29 foot travel trailer. Sounds like my easiest route is 5N to 14N to 178W. Has anyone else traveled this route? Any significant downgrades or hills on 178W?
I am willing to go a few extra miles if it means an easier drive and less tight rock lined curves.
Since you're coming from 14 to 178 it would be shorter than picking up the 178 off of 58 east of Bakersfield. We get off 58 at Commanche to catch the 178 coming from the Central Coast. A friend comes up from Acton and goes the route you plan. Much shorter that any other.
We did that 14 to 178 route last year coming home from Pahrump(actually took 395 to 14 to 178). Much easier drive than the lower 178. Pretty good climb on the east side. Go slow on the down hill side. Our tow vehicle has the tow/haul mode that uses engine braking. Several places to pull over and let the unladen vehicles get around you. If you're going to the Kernville area turn right on 155 (good signage for the intersection). Will save you going into the town of Isabella then to Kernville.
