Sunday I will be going down Black mountain. Am I correct that I should: 1. Turn off tow/haul 2. Manually put in 3rd gear 3. Turn on hazard lights 4. Hang on? Thanks

Kinda hard for me to "experiment" being in eastern NC we are flat as Marcy Darceys chest & the last time I pulled an rv over any mountains was 8 years ago.
I tow in and around the Western NC mountains on a regular basis. I come across Sam's Gap (6% grade) every time we come to the Asheville/Brevard area from Johnson City. Which is at least 4 times a year. We're coming to the KOA East Asheville the end of this month. We went to the Georgia Mtn. Fairgrounds a couple of years ago through the Nantahala National Forrest, 8% grade with switchbacks. We didn't mean to go that way but everything worked out. I drive a gasser too, and like some have said, my tow/haul will downshift when I tap the brake and pretty much hold a safe speed, not sure how your Chevy works but you'll be fine. A 6% grade is really nothing to fret about... Enjoy the ride!
