  If your TV is marginal, yes it will be an effort to go up or down at speed

  6% is pretty steep.  It equates to a rise of 6 feet for every 100 feet of road.  Could be a challenge for smaller TV's.

  For reference, here is a listing of the maximum grades of Colorado mountain passes.  Most on the list are 6-7%.

  So yeah, I'd say 6% is pretty steep.
