    10% is a pretty steep grade, but probably manageable if it's not over 100' long and you are not parking the camper on it.

    Have you got the approach/departure figured out to clear the rear bumper ?

    I didn't know that any clay was good in a driveway. As long as you don't hit when the grade changes you should be good to go. That is why they included 4 low in the drive train.
