IT's been several years since I camped in Yos at Hodgodon Meadows. Had a 2002 Toyota Tundra iForce v8 4 wheel drive tow pac and a 2004 Komfort 24' fiver. Took CA-120, Priest Grade, up. Is a short, curvy grade but very doable. Left pk going down to valley and out CA-140. Use tow/haul mode and downshift to keep tranny from hunting. Several years before for work pulled 120 to Pine Mtn Lake at Groveland with 82,000 # gross equipment on 40' lowbed and back down. Curves were tight for that 40' king pin-rear axle but still doable at 30 MPH. Have fun whichever way you choose.
Thanks for the extra info! We were on the mad dash for sites this morning. Tried to get one at Lower Pines which, in the end, we thought that would be better for us anyhow because it's right on the shuttle bus line. That didn't matter because we got skunked. After the 7am release sites were gone in a minute. Our first second "the website is experiencing heavy traffic". Our next refresh "Unavailable"... 🤦♂️ On the upside, we did get a spot at Hodgdon Meadow so I'm encouraged that you've gone up with your 24' Komfort, that would be very similar to our length.
