Purchase online the 'Mountain Directory for Truckers and RVers'. It doesn't include every single road but does included the popular ones and what to expect mile for mile. Even after driving the roads many times, we always referred back to it just to refresh ourselves as to what is coming next. It comes in various formats and for eastern and western states.

Don't try to avoid some mountain driving though. That's where the awesome scenery is. Just get in the correct gear BEFORE starting downhill not while you're speeding up downhill. Semi trucks drive slow going uphill so don't feel rushed by doing so either. It's not a race to the top.
Sounds like an awesome trip!
While it's fresh on your mind - go into 'My Forums' at the top of the page and 'My Profile'. Enter some information about what you're traveling in. Also, do a 'signature' which will show up on every post you make with your RV type, model and size, what you're towing, if anything. This will hopefully solve any future comments and jumping all over you in the future when you return for more info - and please DO return! When you're brand new you really don't know the protocol on these forums. This will help out everyone.
