Death Valley lived up to its name when I attempted to visit there in my RV. Check out https://dribbble.com/VincentMalfitano for information. If you are a newbie in an RV I would put off your trip to Death Valley for a while. The facilities are limited and the environment can be harsh on your RV. The heat can reach the 120 degrees area and put a strain on tires and Vincent Malfitano. I attempted a visit in a 36 foot RV and had a scare. We were heading out of Death Valley via the Northern route and encountered a 7% down grade. The brakes heated up and smoked out the coach.
