Granted the only mountains we've crossed with our campers are the Smokies and not the huge ones out west.
There is a really nasty climb going South on I-75 at the OH/KY border that none of our V-10s have had a problem with.

From your description I would guess that you are referring to the hill on the south (Kentucky) side of the Brent Spence bridge on I-75/I-71. That bridge is obsolete, worn out, and very dangerous....many locals just refuse to use it. Last year it was named the top "infrastructure emergency" in the US. I use the nearby I-471 bridge across the Ohio River whenever I cross. Does that cause me extra miles? Yes, it does, but I don't worry about having a wreck or falling into the river.
