Guest Anonymous Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 I believe that there are less hills on I-40 and motor homes do not like hills. IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimzdat Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Might want to check the websites for the Dept of Transportation in each state you'll be going thru--I did that when I moved cross country, just to see what road conditions were like--If you got AAA, they can crank out a "triptik" in a short time that highlights bad areas too. Another thing to keep in mind is bypassing major cities--if you take the 40, for instance, you can save much heartache and traffic by taking the 440 around nashville instead of plowing straight thru--adds a few miles, but much easier in the long run. Biggest problem I've run into going northern routes is inevitably you get stuck in an area where they require chains--not bad if you're prepared-but have you ever tried to find chains for a U-Haul truck in the middle of BFE? Good luck FWIW, I live right on the I-40 here in TN, and it's nice and clear--no storms lately or expected. Good luck on your trip--hope it goes smoothly for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RON JONES Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Yea,I think its going to be RT40.I'd rather take a little extra time and play it safe.Thanks for the pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
