Driving the Blue Ridge Highway in a Class C?
Hi all: We are planning a drive from Maine to Florida in late June, which we have done a couple times but always take the shortest I95 route. This time I am considering taking 3 or 4 days to get fro...

We have driven the BRP many times, also Skyline Drive, but in cars and on motorcycles. Lived outside Asheville, NC and now live in Va just off Skyline Dr., so I'm fimilar with both.
Is it dooable in a 30' class c---yes it is. But make sure it's in top shape as you will be giving the engine and tranny a real workout. Lots of up and down, many many curves, some at only 15 to 20 mph... You, as a driver, will not really be able to enjoy the sceanery and views as you must keep your eyes on the road. Lots of traffic on weekends, a bit less weekdays. Lots of motorcycles many who ride crotch rockets who who love to cut corners on blind curves.
Lots of pulloffs and overlooks so you can pull over to let traffic pass as there are very few areas where passing is allowed.
I consider myself to be a good driver, careful and attentive. That being said would I drive the BRP in our class c? No i wouldn't, not just for the sake of driving it.
Others will come in saying they've driven it in their 25, 30, 35 40 foot mh withou any problems, and as I said its dooable, but not enjoyable.
Just my opinion.
