Pigeon Forge to North Carolina

I'm in Pigeon Forge, Tenn and in 2 days I am going to Hendersonville, NC pulling a big travel trailer. Google offers me 2 routes through the mountains: I-40 and 441. It recommends I-40. Highway 441 looks beautiful, but more twisty. Would you take I-40 pulling a big travel trailer?
  • Had to be the part going to Bush's Beans. Your only other choice was to go straight up the parkway to the 407 exit/entrance where the new Buc-ees is being built. Glad to hear you made it though.
  • I doubt that, that route past Bush is pretty straight and level. At least it was last fall. Someone should have mentioned not to use GOOGLE out of Pigeon Forge, I made that mistake once long ago.
  • 411 was moved and is all new road from Newport to Bush's. It will be extended to take out the last of the 2 lane out of Chestnut Hill and connect to the straight part of 411 and that is slated to be widened to 4 lane all the way to Sevierville sometime in the future.
