Fortunately for us and others on the road, Jim (not me) was driving. But it sure is beautiful.Jim and Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12765322668122800819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321318666040153364.post-68776277119944526172013-09-11T15:14:50.121-04:002013-09-11T15:14:50.121-04:00We did not take our motor home on 12.

We would never take a road like it it an RV. First, we both have problems with sheer drop offs. There is one "neck" on the part where we drove in the car where it was narrow lanes with drops straight down on both sides. There are serious grades as you can see by the picture of the warning sign. The 14% is very short but there are some long stretches with 6-8% continuous (7% is about the max we are comfortable with). Our motor home currently seems to be heating up just a bit too quickly on long grades (we need to have it checked) which is another reason we would not have gone that way. It has to be a bit tough on most any rig. But again, many RVs were doing it -- motor homes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, and truck campers. It is a beautiful scenic road not to be missed. And if you have plenty of power and braking and heights are not a problem for you, then go for it. For us to avoid it in the motor home, we took 24 east from Torrey to 62 south and west to 89 south.The BooneDockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554856897561402620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321318666040153364.post-27150186112962192522013-09-11T12:10:38.120-04:002013-09-11T12:10:38.120-04:00Just read your last couple of posts and I have to ...Just read your last couple of posts and I have to ask: Did you drive on Highway 12 in your motor home or your tow car? And if you drove the motor home, how was it? Jim says it would be no problem; I'd be worrying about meeting meeting another big rig along the way.
