Out west we have a number of 6% grades some over 6 miles up and
the same down and over 6000ft high. You can tell the flat landers
by the way they pass you on the way up on of these grades but not
for long as you see them stopped do to over heating....As well on
the down side with brakes smoking trying to go down faster than
they came up LOL....My 5er weights in at 16000pds emty and 2000pds
more with a full load of stuff including 1/3 tank of water, some
gray and black water....Then I have a Honda EU6500ISAC generator
along with 5 gallons of Fuel and 5 gallons of gas in the back
of my Ford F350 crew cab dually putting me over 27k
