Iron Mountain Road and Needles Highway

Driving out west this summer in my 2009 Winnebago View 24H (length = 24'6"; width = 7'6" and height = 10'11").

We don't have a toad so am wondering if we can drive through Iron Mountain Road and Needles Highway in our RV.

Thanks in advance

    There is a point on the Needles Hwy that is difficult to drive through with a car. It is one way through a narrow rock arch.
