billkathy Report post Posted August 23, 2018 Has anyone travelled SD44 from Badlands NP to Rapid City, SD in a MH? We’re heading to Hermosa, SD and I want to know if I could take 44 or should I go back to I-90 to head west. Thanks, Bill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 obedb Report post Posted August 23, 2018 SD44 is marked for large commercial vehicles. Have never used it. Can you ask anyone about the quality of the highway? To Hermosa, sure seems like the way to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 rossboyer Report post Posted August 23, 2018 We haven’t done it for about 12 years. As I remember from the east headed west there is a steep grade. Just stop and shift down to a low gear maybe 2nd or 3rd. You can start low and go up if needed. Save your brakes that way. The west end is fairly level. I will say that we were not very impressed, but it is worth the drive since you are going that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 wildebill308 Report post Posted August 24, 2018 I went up and picked up I-90 in Wall (The Mass Turnpike West) and don't remember a problem. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 billkathy Report post Posted August 24, 2018 Thanks for your replies. We are going to take SD44. I talked to another camper late yesterday who came east on 44, said there's nothing spectacular but it's a nice drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 obedb Report post Posted August 24, 2018 That is the best advice. He recently came east on 44 and gave you a " good to go." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
