Flattest routes from GA To Nashville,TN

Where in Georgia? If south Georgia, you can take a number of routes west into Alabama and pick up 65 in Montgomery or Birmingham, avoiding the worst of the grades such as Monteagle. If you're coming up from Atlanta, you can still head west on 20 to Birmingham and then up 65. It'll add miles but you'll avoid Chattanooga and Monteagle. If North GA, I'm not sure how to avoid mountains without going far out of your way. Maybe someone else has a suggestion.

Assuming somewhere in the greater Atlanta area, head west on I-20 to Anniston AL, then take US 431 from Anniston to Gadsden and on to Huntsville, and pick up I-65 NW of Huntsville. I grew up in that area, US 431 has always been a great alternative to the I's. Not much in the way of hills, certainly not mountains to speak of.

I am waiting to see what the guys of the Rocky Mountain states & westwards have to say about difficult grades.

Ok. I can see the general idea.
I will probably be over there monday i am guessing.

I've been to GA and TN and have driven those hills. I wouldn't call them mountains. OP better stay far away from my neck of the woods if he finds those hills so 'unnerving'. lol

Just like to be nice to my equipment if I can. Lol

Looking at the map, my friend probably took the catanooga route?

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.

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.

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.
