That's exactly what we did. We took hwy /SR59 out of Merced and took the scenic route to HWY 120(also cut about an hour off travel time) to groveland and we're staying at the Yosemite lakes RV resort. Only one section slowed us down and that was the new priest grade. Dropped the truck into 2nd gear and slowly crawled up the hill.. Truck did fantastic handling the grade. The airbags in the rear helped a huge amount. Found on my brake controller that I had it on the wrong setting (after we pulled into our camp site of course) so we will see how it does going home down the hill. We have the entire camp site to ourselves right now so it's nice...
We stayed at the Yosemite Ridge Resort in Groveland which was great. Yes, the New Preist grade will get your attention. Going east, there are few pull outs that will fit a motorhome pulling a toad, and the drop off goes all the way to China.
