Tioga Rd. (Hwy. 120) through Yosemite NP is scheduled to open Monday, May 4. There will be delays for road construction, but at least the road will be open.

Maybe of interest to some cross-mountain travelers: ;-)

We drove on rt 395 from Reno to the Mothership and back up last week.  There is NO snow except for very high up.  Both Monitor and Sonora Passes are open.  We were kind of surprised that Tioga was still closed, but it's a steep, long drive, so I expect that they're just being as safe as possible.

All those passes in a VW bus? That must have been a very slow trip.

I had an old one years ago. It had a sticker on the back that said "Don't ever get stuck behind a VW Bus" That made me laugh so hard I bought it. Unfortunately it had an untimely ending in the AZ. desert. I don't think there is a car built that is easier to pull the motor on. Probably the original camper van. The pop-top has been copied by many.

I have driven both of those passes in my 23.5 towing a Jeep Cherokee so I think it would be doable in a 31'.
But make sure your brakes are up to snuff before doing so. I always stop a couple times on the way down to let them cool. Beautiful views.

If you happen to be in the area of Milford, CA. on 395 there is a nice RV park called Honey Lake a few miles north of the town. P.A. is accepted giving you a 50% discount. Very nice folks. They always let you pick your own spot.

Irony: Just looked at weather.gov, winter weather advisory issued from late Thursday morning through Friday evening, possibly up to 6 inches of snow. ..."biggest concern is for Tioga Pass..." (and all those PCT hikers). National Weather Service Watch Warning Advisory Summary
