DC,
I'm curious ... which of those high routes and passes were taken with your Class C ... versus the BMW?
P.S. Great trip report!
All of those passes listed in OP were taken in the C, towing the BMW. The V-10/5 speed Torque Shift trans is an awesome combination. We ran on 85 octane throughout most of Colorado.. Did one ride on the bike north of Angel Fire over a 9,600' pass before you drop down into Red River. The bike did not like the high elevations and was hard to start as it ran very rich but once started it moved right out without complaint.
Here is a shot taken about half way up the Independence Pass at one of the narrower stretches. At least this section had a guard rail, most of it does not. Note the bicyclist with a serious death wish, we encountered dozens of them on this road:
