Palm springs to Bakersfield

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.

I prefer the route you have proposed rather than going thru Victorville because I've found 395 thru Victorville to be slow, and 395 from Victorville to 58 to be kind of rough in places. I've never encountered slow traffic between Lucerne and Barstow.
