Hwy 25 is pretty easy from Gilroy to about Tres Pinos. After that it gets narrower and windier. There are a couple of hills, but nothing I would consider a long difficult grade.
We do it every spring in a 30-foot Class C. Sometimes towing, sometimes just the RV.
It is a road that you will need to just slow down and take your time. Expect to do some pothole dodging and there will be times where you will intentionally cross the double yellow just to make the corners easier.
Once you get to 146, it's even a little slower (and the speed limit reflects it), and you will dodge a few more potholes.
But it is well worth the trip! We will be there in May 2023.
