Hey All,
So now that I've been there (without the RV), let me answer my own question:
NO WAY!! I've been pulling our 5r for 12 years and I am very comfortable on mountain/winding roads and this would have been very challenging; there are multiple switchbacks that are posted at 15 MPH and they are not kidding! I'm really not sure my 30' 5r would make one or two of these. But perhaps more importantly, there are several places where taller vehicles would take paint damage due to low branches and other poor clearance issues. And once you got there, the lot is pretty small and there isn't any designated RV parking.
So my advice to anyone who finds this posting through future searches is, if your rig is longer than 25' and/or taller than maybe 10', I * STRONGLY* discourage taking an RV up this road.
Seriously, just don't.
