Blue Ridge Pkwy
I would love to hear from those of you who have done the BRP from end to end in a trip. How did you do it? Where did you stay? How long at each cg? Any other details you might add. Thanks!

We spent a week on the BRP and Shenandoah National Park last (early) May. It was a great time to be there as not many other folks were. We too stayed at the CG's just off the parkway as the parkway CG's don't open until the middle of May. Traffic was almost non existent and as noted you will rarely be traveling at the 45 mph max speed limit. In Shenandoah NP the limit is 35 and 25 is more appropriate for most of the park.
We were in our 24' Class C which was fine but much of the parkway is not engineered for large RV's. Those with large fivers/TT's and Class A's will have a better time parking the rig and utilizing their toads to experience the best of the Parkway. We found Asheville NC to be an ideal place to enter the Parkway as just south (of Asheville) are several very restricted bridges and tunnels that even our C could not navigate. When we exited Shenandoah NP at the north end it was a short drive into Washington DC.
if you are ever going to be in this part of the country I highly recommend you spend some time on the BRP and in Shenandoah NP.

Double ditto. It's worth pursuing but do check the tunnel clearances against the height of your rig. Here's a chart of the tunnel clearances on the BRP. Bookmark it and take it with you as you drive the route.
