Katerobin Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hello, Need information on driving motorhome from Las Vegas to Laughlin,AZ. Actual destination is Bullhead across river from Laughlin. we will be leaving from Las Vegas, and see 2 routes on GPS. both show elevation warnings. As our motorhome is a 2005, don't want to stress her too much. We unhook our toad when going over passes, but want the easiest route. thank you Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) We traveled on US95 from Boulder City all of the way to I-40 a couple of years ago and had no issues. I have not been over the 163 part. Quote State Route 163 begins as a four-lane divided highway at its junction with US 95 just north of the California state line. From there, the highway negotiates some fairly steep mountain grades as it loses elevation heading east toward Laughlin. Just outside Laughlin, the divided highway comes together and intersects Casino Drive before crossing the Colorado River and entering Bullhead City, Arizona on Arizona State Route 95.

Randyretired Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 95 is a good route. There is a pull up to Searchlight but it isn't bad. 163 down to Laughlin is good hwy but it drops down quickly. Gear down and hold back with the engine. We have driven our HDT and 5er that way many times without a problem. 93 is OK but it is 2 lane where as 95 and 163 is 4 lane. 93 is a steeper climb and steeper descent.

2gypsies Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Take 95 and there are no issues. 93 then west on 68 into Bullhead City has 12 mi. of 6% downhill (Union Pass) Quote Full-timed for 16 YearsTraveled 8 yr in a 2004 Newmar Dutch Star 40' Motorhome and 8 yr in a 33' Travel Supreme 5th Wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamMedevac 70 Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) As others said 95 and 163 are great routes all the way from LV to Laughlin. I have driven it twice.
