Answer
Driving a motor home in the mountains is done all the time, but you will want to prepare yourself for the steep grades of the Sierra Mountains.  Basically, keep a slow pace downhill, and resist the temptation to keep pace with others.  There are many drivers who are crazy, and there are many who know the roads better than you.  Driving a motor home isn't same as driving a sports car.  I don't know the exact time, but you can find this out yourself with Mapquest.com.  Good luck...
