Driving CA 120 from the west up the New Priest Grade.
I plan on driving east on CA 120 from CA 49 to Groveland with my 40' coach and a toad. I see its a very winding road and I'm looking for advice/suggestions. I'll be driving it this week.

It's not that bad and the tailgators will hopefully go up Old Priest Grade. 45 foot tour buses go up New Priest Grade all day long. Semi-trucks go up Old Priest Grade. There are quite a few turnouts along the route. Just use them to let people pass. No reason to unhook the toad unless you want to. I never have unhooked.
I don't think you'll find Semi's or even many delivery trucks on Old Priest. The road has a 7200 lb max weight limit. That includes the vehicle and whatever you're towing.
Opps, my mistake when I said semi's go up old Priest. I meant to say new Priest just like the tour buses. Nothing but cars and pickups pretty much allowed on the old road.
