Since it is near the intersection of 276 and 11, the choice is simple.
1) 11 north to 25.
2) 25 north until it merges with I26.
3) Take I26 to I40 west into TN
4) exit 432 to catch 411 south
5) In Seiverville, left on hwy 66
6) Right on Hwy 321 to Townsend.
7) After you get through the bad curves and straigten out you will cross a river and come to a Tee.
8) turn left and go to Tremont.
By the way, this is basically the way Google sends you. I usually disagree, but this time they are on the money. The are more scenic ways to go, but since you said you didn't want to deal with the curves, this is the best. Worst curves are the last few miles on Hwy 321.
An alternative would be to take 321 from I40, but this means you would have to negotiate through downtown Gatlinburg (not to bad) and then the winding road from Sugarloaf Visitor Center through the GSMNP to Tremont. Nice in a car and doable with the trailer, but not necessarily fun.
Been traveling these roads for over 30 years and know of a few different ways to go and some nasty little shortcuts, but not what you want on a non-adventurous route. :)
