Just be aware that Mountain Stream is an hour from downtown Asheville, and does involve climbing Old Fort Mtn on I-40, or a roughly two hour trip on the Parkway (You didn't say when; the BRP is closed for winter & repairs between here and there.)
NC 80 north of Mountain Stream to the BRP is _not_ recommended for RV's (narrow, steep, and curvy). If you have a toad, it is reasonably close to the BRP & Mount Mitchell State Park (highest peak east of the Mississippi), which has plenty of hiking trails. I think the Mountains-to-Sea Trail runs parallel to the BRP thru there, also. I know it does here around Asheville.
