Somebody just posted on the Momentum fb group. He drove that with his 44' Momentum toy hauler. Grand Design says it's 13'6" and when we asked him he said he stayed in his lane going through that tunnel that's marked 13'6".

He also said he did not drag on any of the switchbacks but that he did have to take several of those very wide (in the other lane).

My bad it actually 13-9, but in any case drive through it and look at the walls and ceiling. I used to work on road projects in the corridor and have seem many a scared RV driver and numerous trucks and RV's scrape the tunnel. If you go slow its a beautiful drive.
There is a beautiful campground for smaller RV.s just above Ouray. Ridgeway State park with the lake is also good. Fishing has been OK the times I have been there. Don't put them on a stringer though the craw fish will have a great meal - they are good eating too.

Thanks. Going now in October. Thought I would stay closer to Durango. What about Alpine Rose Rv camp or United Campground? Will be able to catch the train in Durango. Probably be able to get tickets in October.

While I have never visited either they both should be OK. There is also the KOA just east of town. Double check on the train tickets as the are very booked up usually. You can book online too I believe. While here you can visit Mesa Verde NP and the Aztec ruins in Aztec NM. The Southern Ute tribe also has a museum. Dress warm as the weather can get interesting that time of year.

Lots of places within a days drive too.

Also if you like honey products (various flavors) you should visit Honeyville north of town.

Have a safe trip

Hello, JCZhome,
I've made that trip with 5 of my buddies on a 6,325 mile trip, Made the Million $ Hwy on our way home. we made 11 states in a little over two weeks. Started in Texas and rode up to Yellowstone. Made Bear tooth Pass on our way to Red Lodge, Montana. Went on to Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, colorado....Great bucket-list experience and adventure.

We purchased our GD RV 3 months ago. We've made 5 trips and logged 1,050 miles so far on our RV. We love it!
