I'm presuming your initial post is facetious. Certainly every road is rated by the driving skill and experience of the responder. When I respond to a threat and say NO don't drive there in a motorhome, eg" Big Sur highway 1 or the Million Dollar Highway 550, I am responding from experience. Some thrill seeking experienced full time big rig driver might find these roads totally acceptable. Me, not so much.
No I was being serious. If you viewed the video, which I hope you did, it would make my point a bit clearer. I for one WOULD drive Big Sur with your motorhome and even my trailer. And this is precisely my point. My view of what is challenging or doable may be very different from some others. What I feel comfortable driving is very very different from most I would guess. This is why I put the video there. Having said that if there is a Restriction put on the road by authorities I dont violate that. If however it is an "Advisory" I usually go.
About three minutes into the video starts some mountain roads that are truly challenging and driven very well by the guy in the MAN Truck/Camper which is a very Large vehicle.
I just fear that if we are not careful in our responses we may be scaring people away from great drives unnecessarily. Thats why I think it better to admit to your particular prejudices when answering. But also that someone like me who considers the roads on the video great fun...I must be careful to not do the opposite.
