Well, Cades Cove is at the west end of the park. Looking at the map there is NC 28, over to rt. 129 to Fooot hills parkway to 321 to Townsend, TN. I have not been on 28 or 129 so I don't know how twisty turny or hilly they are. 441 I have been on many times and see alot of RVs of all sizes go thru the gap. You are in the mountains so you can't get away from the steep grades any way you go. The road thru the park from 441 to Cades cove is a typical park road, not extreamly wide and with its share of grades and sharp turns. Myself, I would take the chance and go the western route. It couldn't be any worse, right?? Just take your time and be careful, the people behind you will get over it. lol.
