I did it in a truck camper 2 years ago on alternate 14 and that was enough for me. I understand 16 is much more forgiving and I am contemplating doing it in a motorhome this year.
The scenery on 14 alternate is awesome but the grades are----- well lets just say I left my finger prints indented in the steering wheel. I never though I'd sweat any power issues in that pick up with a slide on camper having just finished the Alaska Hiway run in it. I found out otherwise when I started running low on gears to use to get up that grade! I'd do it in a car again but never Alternate 14 with anything that has any load. I may try 16 this year though.
