She didn't like the DRW.
After years of research and planning, 2014 is (was?) the year we get a nice 5th wheel and do some traveling. The good news is the wife and I both really like the Heartland Big Horn and Big Country ...

Jm , that 80 route is no easy pull from Sac to Reno , if thats where you are then you are well informed...lol
But I still wouldnt hesitate to use my little srw to go up or down it..haha just pokin some fun , dont take it personal. Scott
Nothing personal! I live in the Reno area and everywhere we go west or south involves a climb. It is almost 30 miles of mostly climbing from Reno to Donner summit between Verdi and the summit going west; and close to 60 miles of climbing from Sacramento (actually near Auburn) to the summit. I have hauled my RV's both directions many times since 1987 when I got into RVing with both a dually and a SRW truck. And the other passes over the Sierras, with the exception of the Feather River SR 70, are all steeper than Donner. There is also an eye opening climb just north of Bishop California on US 395 heading north. Caltrans even has 'pull offs' for those that cannot make the climb in one big long try.
Maybe in the flatlands of Kansas or the rolling hills of Iowa the issues would be different. But not here.
