I have not personally towed all of that route, but as there are at least 9 caravan sites along the route, it would appear that plenty of others do use it.

Yes we've done that route if fact we have most of the highlands of Scotland over the years mostly with our trusty Skoda Felicia 1.6 towing an eldiss whirlwind xl
There only two roads that we have travelled over the years that I would not attempt and both of those had signs saying unsuitable for caravans those are the road over the top to Applecross and the road to Clashnessie so unless they have changed that route you should be fine.

hello allan
              i travel that road all the time in my wagon
              meet lots of caravans as long as you take it
              easy you should have no problems when you
              come out at the junction for lochcarron
              take the right to achnasheen its a better
              road than turning left to lochcarron
              if eating out try the poolewe hotel it has
              a new chef great food
enjoy sonic
