questions on I-40 going west from NC to OK
OK I have never been past Knoxville, TN going west on I-40 to Lawton, Oklahoma. My questions are: Once I am past the smokey mountains on I-40 in NC/TN are there more mountains to climb to get to OK?...

My experience with any interstate is that there are going to be mostly good miles with the occasional few rough miles. But it is easier and faster to just slow down in the bad and enjoy the good and go with it rather than trying to find bypasses for any possible bad stretches.
I-44 from OKC to Lawton is toll, but only something like $6-$7 towing the trailer.
You are looking at around 20 hours of actual drive time plus stops for food, fuel, and rest. So figure 24 hours of travel time if you don't tarry long at each stop. So 7 hours of travel time per day would get you there in 3 1/2 days. Leave by 9 am and stop around 4 pm would give you enough down time in the evening to rest up. That is a lot of seat time and would make for some long days, but doable depending on the people involved.
