CA Hwy 89 Monitor Pass

A friend of mine is planning on taking his 35' gasser motor home (plus toad) across Monitor Pass (east to west). Is this advisable? Anybody done this before?

I am sure people have done it before. If this helps it is a great motorcycle road. Lots of curves, lots of climbing and lots of descending. A diesel with an exhaust brake makes the descent lots easier. A gasser that can only be downshifted for engine braking downhill will be interesting. It can be easy to run out of service brakes before you run out of hill if not careful. For a few extra miles and mostly flat your friend could go to Minden/Gardnerville on US 395 then take SR 88. Probably lots easier for a motorhome. Can it be done? Sure. Does your friend want to?
