I'm in a hilly area, and one of my driveways is STEEP. I measured it today at a little over 16 degree, or a little over 28% grade. When I backed down the drive a few days ago, I was concerned about the braking power. I had to press the brakes pretty hard. That drive will not work for us in the future, especially if there is any moisture on it.

I plan to build a barn with a new driveway very soon. I've done a few searches on the site and cannot find any threads on this. In addition to watching the transition angle, does anyone know the recommended maximum angle for a Prevost going up or down hills? I know it will pull the 28% grade, but the braking concerns me more. My front tires slid a little as it was.

This will affect where I put the new driveway. It will be expensive, but so was the bus!
