traveling from Heiskell TN to Park City KY. mapquest takes us I75 to KY80 and along the Cumerland parkway. What kind of road conditions can I expect? traveling in a 36' travel trailer and limited mountain experience.

80 is also no problem. It has some hills, but no big curves. Easy to run the speed limit.

We tow over the Cumberland Parkway twice per year with our trailer.

We actually enjoy the trip. Rolling hills, very scenic, limited access and light traffic.

Go for it.
Our Rig:
2005 Dodge 3500 - Dually- Cummins
2006 Outback 27 RSDS

We also have with us two rescue dogs. A Chihuahua mix & a Catahoula mix.

75 in that stretch is fine. A couple of pretty good grades, but no real problemmatic stretches. You should be fine if your tv is well matched to your trailer.

I can't help with the first part of your route as I have not towed on those roads, but the Cumberland Parkway should be just fine.

Kentucky has a system of these parkways across the state and I have been on most of them. It is a great system.

Others with experience will help on the other parts of your itinerary, I'm sure.
