Blue Ridge Parkway/skyline drive
We are planning a return from florida and would like to take the above routes (might just end up being BRP). I know in beginning of April we will have to watch for snow possibilities. Is it worth...

Almost every trip is worth doing once in your lifetime. Living near the BRP, and not far from its junction with the Skyline Drive, I've been on both often over the years. A 25 foot C with no toad should have no problems. Do watch for clearance issues with tunnels, however.
The Wally's in Roanoke is not all that close to the Parkway, however. I'd highly recommend springing for the $16 overnight fee at one of the no-hookup campgrounds right along the parkway instead.
As others have pointed out, both the BRP and the SD are slow drives. Both would be closed entirely for snow, but this is not likely in April. Stop often and enjoy the views.
The Walmart at Roanoke is right almost on the parkway. You can see it from the parkway, just exit off Rt 220 South get in the left lane & it is on left behind the car dealerships. Huge parking lot do not know about overnight RV parking. It is a newer Walmart been open about 6-8 months or so. There is a private campground at Rt 58 business west just off the Parkway at Meadows of Dan, VA (Gas too but small town prices) Nancy's Fudge just east of the parkway as well. Meadows of Dan is very close to Marbys Mill.
