What type of special mechanical configurations or accessories are needed for driving an RV through higher elev?
Iam going to be driving from the Pacific Northwest to Minnesota. The route is Interstate 90 and 94, and my main concern is the extremely higher elevation of Idaho.
carburated engines used to require adjustments to run properly at high altitudes. For prolonged operation at high altitude, the size of the jets in the carb could be changed out, but then would need to be changed back when you return to a lower altitude. Some RVs used to come with a Banks system to force more air pressure into the carb for improved performance going up steep grades. But as the other poster mentioned, the beauty of electronic fuel injection is that it can adapt to altitude automatically. I have no trouble in my car, and limited issues on my motorcycle going through mountain passes in the west. Both have fuel injection. My RVs have both had carbs, one with the banks, and one without. didn’t really have much trouble with either. I think you’ll be okay. Just take your first run up to high altitude on a four lane and stick to the right lane. If the rig labors, then take it to a local dealer or shop for modification or adjustment. The shops in the mountain areas will be better at diagnosing and adjusting for altitude anyway. But if you have fuel injection, I would not expect any trouble. Even with a carb and no air boost system, you should get through okay on the interstate.
You can call ahead to the state patrol and ask about tire chains. They are not always required on the interstate, as far as I know, but some state highways and side roads require them at certain times of the year.

RV Safety and Quality
RV Safety and Quality is an important issue to industry and consumers who both need to make sure their vehciles are properly configured and maintained for good handling properties. It is important that the Tow vehicle and combination rig is fundamentally “Understeer” Perhaps this might explain what Understeer is…

Do RV parks in California have restrictions on the age of a trailer parked there?
I have a 1973 travel trailer, and someone told me that they have restrictions on the year of trailers they accept. Is that true.
ITs possible that a few do, becasue I have heard this before. I’ve been RV’ing since 2000 and haven’t run into any park that did. I really don’t think that you’ll have a problem. Buy the Trailer Life Directory so that you can call ahead of time and find out. http://www.trailerlife.com/
