Will be pulling my 37'5er between Palm Springs and Bakersfield. Would prefer to stay off the interstate. Anyone with experience taking route 62 to Yucca Valley, route 247 to Barstow and then route 58 into Bakersfield? Good road for towing? Low overpasses? Construction? Steep inclines? Got a better plan? Thanks.
Great route except when you get to Victorville go west to 395 then Hwy. 58 then to Bakersfield. You don't need to go to Barstow and then save some time and miles. I stay at the "A Country" RV park. All pull throughs with full hook ups. From 58 turn south on exit 116 which is S Fairfax Rd.
Great road for RVing. You have a easy grade up to Tehachapi. Just keep your speed down on the down hill side. I try to keep it at 50-55 and I drop my 6 speed tranny into 5th gear all the way down. There is also a Pilot Truck fuel station just before you get into Tehachapi.
