I absolutely love the Blue Ridge Parkway on a MOTORCYCLE. I don't think I would be happy towing our 30' toy hauler trailer on it for any distance.
I've heard a fair amount of conflicting information and suggestions on this. Here's our situation... We will be in the Nashville area for a rally in mid July, and are considering following this up with a 2 or three week jaunt up the Blue Ridge Parkway from south to north. We're set up with a 38 foot fiver, 13' 6" tall, towed by a one-ton diesel. Retired, so absolutely no hurry. Our thinking is that we'd spend our days driving short sections of the parkway, dropping off to campgrounds off of the parkway. I have experience in mountain driving and know the capabilities of the truck well, so grades don't bother me too much.
So, is the plan and approach doable? Are there any gotcha's that I need to be thinking about? I'd be particularly interested in thoughts from folks that have 'been there and done that' in a setup similar to ours.
Thanks in advance...
