Any info on he C222, via Wartook and Laharum to Horsham? We are towing a Jayco Penguin tourer with an Escape diesel, don't want to shake the Penguin to bits. Vaguely remember remember seeing a sign 'not suitable for van's.

Gday...
It's been a while since I drove all of that journey.
But the section from Halls Gap through the Grampians is very steep, narrow and twisty. It is quite probably on that bit you saw a sign about unsuitability for vans.
I was through the Grampians earlier in the year without my van and the roads you suggest are all sealed and good quality just a bit tight for a van praps and with some very steep pinches - ascent and descent.
Once out of the Grampians, from my memory, all good sailing.
Cheers - John

That road was suitable for caravans 15 years ago.

+1 Very winding and a few steep pinches, but sealed all the way. Smallish to medium van no probs but a big one may struggle.
