If you elect to pass thru Nashville, do not take the downtown route. It is horrible rough, so rough you think you are going to damage the MH. Take I-65 till you hit 155, the Briley Parkway, its a loop around the east side of Nashville, and is six lanes or so and quite smooth. Goes out past Opryland and past the airport. It is limited access till you get near the airport then you have two or three traffic lights, then exit off of it onto I-24 south to go to Chattanooga. Its five or so extra miles but the traffic is lighter and the ride much better. I came thru Nashville about 7 pm back in late august thinking it was late, why bother going around, only to discover horrible traffic, crazy drivers and the extremely rough road. Every other time for the past several years I have taken the Briley Parkway, but will no longer even attempt to go thru town after this last experience.
