Paul,

Thanks for the information, we just haven't "done" an incline....yet..
Did you go up/down in a certain gear? Or am I making too big a deal out of this?

I have an automatic so I go up in drive-----going down I gear down to allow the engine to do some of the brake work---don't want to burn up the brakes

Paul,

On the way down, you gear down to "2"?

Thanks again,

Jim

Area A is the best. Was there two weeks ago. The best site is #11 on top of a little hill over looking the lake. Other good site are 12-18 close to the water. Sites 1-8 are good to. My first camp site was #23 and couldn't level my Class C so I had to move to site #22. This is a very nice campground and quite. All sites have plenty of room.

Hey Jim

yes, we gear down so that the engine actually brakes the rig---you'll gradually pick up speed but the use the regular brakes to slow down and then let it start to coast again-----this keeps you from having to "ride the brakes"

I also have a jake brake---
