Guide book or website about steep/twisted/rough roads?
Is there a guide to tell me where the road ahead will have a steep grade? Or will not be recommended for a long class a or fifth wheel? Or be too rough to drive?

I, personally... also have no fear of twisting mountain roads. However... my girls definitely do.
On a recent trip google maps/navigation put us on a highway... not some fire road, mind you. Our average speed was about 15 mph. It was Hell on my girls.
So the lesson for me is clearly to take the time and plan my trips more carefully. Google Maps does have a good terrain feature that shows contour lines. Had I employed this, I would have seen where google wanted to take me and manually chosen an alternate route.
It would have been nice to have an "RV" option showing alternate routes that are more the straight and... not so narrow. Other than finding this thread, my searching has come up dry. But I'm still holding out hope.
Anyone?
