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?

Yes. That Bear Camp is the one that a young San Francisco family's GPS told them to take to get to the coast in wintertime. Fortunately the wife and kids made it, but the husband/father was not so lucky.
There was a lot of speculation during the search as to what map led them astray. They did not have GPS. They may have looked at Mapquest before the drive, but when lost they only had a printed state map. After missing an exit to OR43, they saw a route heading west from Grants Pass on the map, and headed off in the dark and rain and snow, without any detailed information.
Jim died because he thought they were much closer to Galice than they really were, and he tried to hike out without adequate protection or food. Even a rudimentary GPS would have given him a more realistic location.
