What now? Have my route mapped out...
Only a few weeks away from the family's first RV (rented 32' class C) trip! We have reservations at all the campgrounds and have a general route mapped out here: https://goo.gl/maps/L4hnO So now...

I use GasBuddy to find the best price and do not worry about getting in/out and I'm 42'. There are two parts of your trip that concern me in a rental RV... not the RV but a new RV driver. 441 in the Great Smokey Mountains is a long climb up and then a long downhill. Going up you can probably let the tranny do it's own thing (shift out of OD) BUT going down you need to manually gear it down into 2nd or maybe 3rd gear so the engine does the braking, not the brakes. You should be able to go for 30 seconds without using the brakes and then if necessary, put them on fairly hard but briefly to slow back down.
By the time you get back east of Asheville on I-40 you should have no problem with going down Old Fort mountain in a low enough gear.
If you zoom in enough on your map it will show WalMarts or Redbox... Walmart.
Relax... enjoy your trip.
