Traveling to Gettysburg, PA

Hi we are newbies at travel trailers, we have had our RV for about a year now. I was wanting any input on traveling from Dayton Ohio to Gettysburg, PA. I know that the Appalachian mountains start in Pennsylvania. Has anybody towed their travel trailer that way? How much of an incline is there? Is it a smooth ride or difficult to tow out that direction? Any help or advice would be appreciated .

My family and I made the trip to Gettysburg from Akron Ohio last year with a 4200lb used Innsbruck trailer that we bought to see how we liked the lifestyle. I have an F150 EB with standard towing package (7200lb). The trailer was very old, 1997, and we did not have a weight distribution hitch or anti-sway bars. While it did get pretty hilly, the truck did great, no power issues at all, and I did not notice any swaying. We just traded the old one in on a brand new one a few weeks ago (6200lb), and purchased a weight distribution hitch with the sway bars. With you trailer and your 5.0 F150 I don't think you will have any issues at all. However I do recommend a weight distribution hitch with that weight.
