Does anyone know how I 79 is south of Pittsburgh to Charleston, WV is?
Are there many steep grades?

I guess it depends on what RV you have. We have driven from Morgantown to Charleston many times over the years with our different motorhomes and usually towing a car trailer. It's a nice road and, if we need to go that route, I don't give it a second thought but there are many up & downgrades. No trouble but can't stay in overdrive.
If you are really concerned, here's a great resource: https://www.mountaindirectory.com/

With a new Horizon, there isn't an interstate in the country that would be a challenge either going up or down!
