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?

It's worth keeping mind that states vary as to how road responsibility is divided up. In many the DOT maintains and regulates major roads (cooperating with the feds on some), and counties all others. North Caroline is at the other extreme, with everything except roads in towns being the state's responsibility. In western states federal agencies like Forest Service and BLM also maintain a lot of roads.
History, terrain and climate also affect the mix. Some of those restricted California roads look like they were old wagon roads, barely paved over. In western Washington and Oregon a road has to be actively maintained, or else it soon is overgrown or washed away. But in dry eastern parts of those states, an occasional pass with a grader is all that's needed to keep many roads usable.
