I would suggest it depends on how big/long your outfit is, as it isn't wide, has stone walls either side and likely to have a lot of cycles, car tourists ambling along looking at scenery, and possibly some walking groups. Could be a tight squeeze if you encounter a coach/other van coming other way.
We have towed up and down it, but a long time ago when roads were quieter, and with a small van in tow. Remember goats and fallen rocks were a hazard back then, but not as many cyclists.
Fabulous drive if you are not towing!

Hi Hooker 128, I towed down the pass last year enroute to Morris Leisure Site at Llanberis, there is 1 section that is rather tight on a double bend. I have Swift Challenger 565 it is not as long as some outfits.
Would I do it again? that depends where I was travelling from, I returned home via A55 so didn't tow back up the pass.

It's not exactly the Simplon Pass, is it?

It is driveable, I drove from betys y coed to Llanberis without the caravan earlier this year with a view to taking the caravan a few days later.
I decided it would be driveable BUT decided that by taking the route suggested by Morris Leisure was a lot easier and faster and far less concerning.
I feel I was correct in my decision (I'm always for the easier life)

Thank you all, personally I cannot see a problem, but the better half does.. it is the idiots coming the other way who do not know how wide their vehicle is, so it looks like I will follow the A5 to Bangor ect ect
