cumberland parkway or another route?

traveling from Heiskell TN to Park City KY. mapquest takes us I75 to KY80 and along the Cumerland parkway. What kind of road conditions can I expect? traveling in a 36' travel trailer and limited mountain experience.
  • I can't help with the first part of your route as I have not towed on those roads, but the Cumberland Parkway should be just fine.

    Kentucky has a system of these parkways across the state and I have been on most of them. It is a great system.

    Others with experience will help on the other parts of your itinerary, I'm sure.
  • 75 in that stretch is fine. A couple of pretty good grades, but no real problemmatic stretches. You should be fine if your tv is well matched to your trailer.
  • We tow over the Cumberland Parkway twice per year with our trailer.

    We actually enjoy the trip. Rolling hills, very scenic, limited access and light traffic.

    Go for it.
  • 80 is also no problem. It has some hills, but no big curves. Easy to run the speed limit.
