Trudy, you can cross and the road to there from Kingman thru to Vegas is good. I went that way last summer in our SP36. I don't have a toad, as I have a motorcycle lift, but I know it's ok towing too (see link). They "pretent" to check the whole coach, but it's such a joke they ask you to open each bay door, and before you even get it open they say "ok, close it"

the road thru Laughlin takes you down a steep mountain road and then it's mostly flat and too long to go that way if you're already in Kingman. We used to go that way from Phx thru Blythe and around to avoid climbing years ago in my buddy's 63 Blue Bird conversion, back when it was a gasser. It took forever, but avoided the hills!
