I’m interested in the flattest routes from GA to Nashville with my trailer. A friend drove me from ga to tn once, and went through some pretty unnerving terrain

That would have been a great idea! But no, we hadn't taken any advanced arithmetic. We pretty much plateaued at "naught from naught is naught". I was hoping to get into Georgia Tech, but they said I was over qualified. I ended up at UGA, Party hearty major with minor in coed appreciation

Let me guess: on odd days, you hopped on your left foot and he hopped on his right foot; and on even days, you hopped on your right foot and he on his left?

The OP is correct to pre-plan his route . I plan all of my trips so that the trips are downhill all the way out and back , saves a lot on fuel .



Sounds sorta like the school I went to as a kid. Up hill both ways 😉

100 miles (approx) longer and having to deal with Birmingham downtown area? Get real! You think Atlanta is a pain?


I wouldn't do it.....unless I REALLY wanted a "scenic" route.....but the stated objective was to avoid the mountains.

You can't avoid ALL the negative factors with any route.....usually.

Nice, smooth, flat, luxurious.


How much does that add to the trip......maybe 100 miles ?? (versus 75/24)

Who will be first with "you guys don't really have mountains back east"?

I-75 to I-24 toward Chattanooga/Nashville. Few curves and short steep climbs until you get to Monteagle and start up onto the Cumberland Plateau. Fairly long pull and then down the other side (go slow - there is an aggravating curve about half mile from the crest) The ride from there to Nashville is just a ride with relatively high traffic and a lot of trucks through some beautiful countryside.

Get used to unnerving terrain. Otherwise there is no point in having an RV and running scared all the time.

Either that or you spend the rest of your life on the Coastal Plain, or maybe just move to Florida.

If.....your "equipment" is properly sized for the job, going up and down a few hills won't harm it in the least.

You can sometimes get yourself into a BIGGER mess by trying to avoid a little one.

I suggest that you just take I-75. The only really bad part, in my opinion, is Chattanooga. If it is daylight and not raining, even that part isn't too bad.
