Book Intro..
There is an old saying among over-the-road truckers.
“There are two kinds of drivers — those who’ve been in trouble on a mountain grade, and those who will be.”
Unfortunately, this also applies to many RVers.
Trucks and RVs have similar problems regarding weight, engine power, and braking in mountainous terrain.
Many people are under the impression that the grades in the eastern mountains are not as serious as the grades in the western mountains.
A large percentage of the grades in the western states are in the 6% range.
A large percentage of the grades in the eastern states are 8, 9, or 10% and sometimes even more.

After a thrilling descent into Camp Verde Valley, AZ in 1993, Richard Miller decided to do something about the lack of information on many mountain grades.
The results of his efforts are two excellent resources: Mountain Directory West and Mountain Directory East.
“Rvers traveling to new locations often meet unforeseen and possibly dangerous challenges in mountainous terrain because they could not know what type of road lay ahead.
These Ebooks give locations and detailed descriptions of almost 700 mountain passes and steep grades in 22 states.
This enables drivers to plan safer and easier routes, or to be prepared to face the grade.”
