BOY, are we ever "off topic"
If you think that there is anywhere in these United States of America that is all downhill, you need to get a hold of a 45' fifth wheel trailer with an inadequately powered pickup truck and start across country.
I learned that lesson the hard way so I bought this. With this there was certainly a greater sense of being on the "down hill" side.

These were really fun times. I had retired and was then hired back as a consultant to help install public safety communications systems at locations all over the country. I would still be doing that but my knees failed me.

That IS a serious tow rig, I understand your desire to get it back on the road. You should have no problem coming up here and quite possibley in record time.
Have you ever been to Stanley Id (Sawtooths)?

I have not, but I have been in the Bitterroots or in Saimon-Chalis. I think the terrain is much the same.
I'm sorry to say, however, that I no longer have that truck and trailer. Without that consulting job, there is no way that I could afford to keep that rig. The company paid all of my travel expenses and provided a housing allowance while on the road.

I guess the consolation prize is consulting here for free? 
Look at the pictures that scroll on this page, takes a couple sec's per pic.
Still worth coming to see.

Look at the map on the wall. South is "down"...
We tow our kind of heavy old 24 footer to Diana's brothers house yearly and my old yard sale F-150 is truly under powered for towing. He only lives about 50 miles north of us and it is all prairie with no steep hills but most of our local rivers come from that area and it is truly UPHILL all of the way (North is "up" on the wall map too
). Not a hard pull, just an annoying feeling drag. Coming home seems like coasting. .
