I am new here an need some help. I have search the internet but I'm having trouble finding the answer I need, I am brand new to RVing. Just bought a brand new 32ft trailer being towed by my suburban. We are heading out in 2 days from east of Sacramento down to Las Vegas. My original thought was to take Hwy 50 to 89/88 to 395 then down from there. However, i just realized this would require taking the steep, winding, cliff on one side grade from Echo Summit down to tahoe. I;ve driving this many times in a car or truck but it scares the hell out of me to take a trailer down that grade.

Has anyone pulled a TT over 88 and carson pass down to 395? The grade doesn't bother me as much as the narrow sharp turns with a cliff on one side.

Thank you in advance for your responses
