411 Sevierville Tn to Ashville NC

How is this road for pulling a 32ft. 5th wheel? Need to get to I 40 to head east to Raleigh. Thanks
  • Its good and you should have no problem. As said before, semi's use it all the time but the issue of being a 2 lane with virtually no shoulders may make it seem very narrow but you will be fine. Keep your wheels on the pavement. Bush's Beans is on that road and you will pass right by them. Worth a stop if you have the time. Nice cafĂ© and small museum on the Bush Bean history. Not that it will do any good for you but they are building a new road to replace the narrow 2 lane road.
  • I have pulled our FW many times on 411 between Sevierville and I-40 with no problems. None of the curves require cheating across the center line to avoid scraping the FW sides. There is no road shoulder as mentioned before on the two lane and some trees seem to be right at the road's edge. There's no low hanging limbs, however.

  • 411 east through Chestnut Hill to I-40 is used by semis all day, every day. I pulled my 40' 5er that way. Can feel tight at times because of guard rails close to the road and minimal shoulder but I made it. Take er easy and you should be fine.
