Contemplating pulled my 40' FW over this route? Is this a bad idea?

A good place to stay if you're ready to do so is Crystal Crane Hot Springs RV at Crane, Oregon near Burns. It's good if you're planning on touring Malheur Nat'l Wildlife Refuge.

We also have towed this route. Time is the only issue but we knew that and had a nice time . We were in late September.

That's Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Thank you all for your informative responses.

Good road surface, but pretty twisty Takes longer than you might expect.

We did that drive this year with the coach, there are a couple switchbacks that will get your attention but its doable, take your time in the Malhure national park. It's worth the drive.

We have friends in John Day and go there about every other year and find 395 a very good road. We have a MH but have seen many 5th wheels on the road.

It's quite a nice drive. No problem. I stayed free in the forest service hdqts parking lot in John Day.

If your in the area after mid May, visit Goose Lake state park. Were hosting there in July.

Thanks for your input. Sounds doable.
