The last time I did Tehachapi to Vegas it was indeed too long, and that was without a trailer. I've not camped out there before.
While you are on 58, stop at the Tehachapi Pass and see a train pass over itself and around itself. Stop at Mojave Spaceport and see Spaceship One and the Rotary Rocket Roton. Go by the hangers of Virgin Galactic and see if you can get a peek at White Knight II and Cosmic Girl, go by Scaled Composites too. On one end of the field is the Orbital ATK "Stargazer", which they use to drop-launch a rocket and which is the last operating L-1011. Just driving around you can see some interesting rocket stuff out on the street. There is also a jet graveyard there.
Edwards Air Force Base tours are full through July.
