Like the others said I would not give it a second thought, but do plan to pull off if the weather looks bad. Thankfully there are stops every few miles going down the Natchez trace. As to the trace itself there are a few things you should be aware of, first off it is a narrow highway, second the speed limit is 50 mph and is strictly enforced by the park rangers, the traffic is sparse and almost all tourist (no commercial vehicles allowed on the trace). Also as a general rule the stops (points of interest,nature trails, historical spots and markers) along trace get more closely spaced and in my opinion more interesting the farther south you get, in fact I would say the last 5 or 10 toward the south end are all must see locations. Makes sure to take the 2-3 mile side trip for Emerald Mound about 10 miles noth of Natchez. Also if civil war history interests you take a site trip to Vicksburg and tour the battleground park, it is mostly drive through and takes an hour or two at 10-15 mph (use the available audio tour) , it is RV accessible but some of curves are sharp so if you have a TOAD you may want to use it.
Also, watch for bicycle riders. Lots of them on the Trace. Not so many motorcycles, guess they don't like the low speed limit.
