However, even I met my match when going over Sonora Pass with my RV. I WILL NEVER EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!!!NEVER EVER!!
There is a 26% grade on the pass, as well as many other grades above 15%. I had my foot all the way down to the firewall, the RV was in 1st gear, and I was not going fast enough at the top of the 26% grade for the speedometer needle to move off the rest between 0 and 5 mph. To say I was shaking is an understatement.
Yep that was me as well, my RV was floored at would not go over 20 mph with my jeep in tow, if my wife would have been with me I could have unhooked Jeep but I was alone, I also did it at night so there was no other traffic but it was a experience I will never do again in any RV..
