- groundhogyExplorerTook 20 from atlanta into birmingham.
65 north to nashville area.
Nice, smooth, flat, luxurious. - HorsedocExplorer IIWho 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. - ppineExplorer IIGet 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. - Sam_SpadeExplorer

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. - groundhogyExplorerLooking at the map, my friend probably took the catanooga route?

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
I am waiting to see what the guys of the Rocky Mountain states & westwards have to say about difficult grades. - groundhogyExplorerOk. I can see the general idea.
I will probably be over there monday i am guessing. - VeebyesExplorer III am waiting to see what the guys of the Rocky Mountain states & westwards have to say about difficult grades.

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
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.
