Highway 191 north to Flaming Gorge
I will be volunteering at Flaming Gorge NRA in Utah, but am hearing horror stories about driving HWY 191 north toward Dutch John. Can anyone give me information about that road? I drive a 35-foot ...

I've driven it in my old 33' pace arrow (454) with the jeep in tow.
It was a long climb, all in first gear with my foot to the floor most of the time. I had a 4 speed and I just couldn't hold 2nd and where I could the temps would creep up. So I just put it in first and left it there. I forget the HP peak on the 454, 3800 rpm maybe, but I just kept it there or full throttle if it fell below that.
It does have a couple of places you can pull over in the switchbacks, but I found I could keep it cooler, by just keeping the rpm up to move some air and keep it climbing up the hill.
You shouldn't have any trouble with it unless you have other mechanical issues, just take your time.
