RV Traveling Along the Blue Ridge Parkway


    

Although the scenery is beautiful, traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway with a long RV takes some advance planning. Construction of the 469-mile long parkway began in 1935 when recreational vehicles were less common than today. It is features of the parkway such as curves, tunnels, and plentiful trees that make the drive more difficult with any larger RV.

Social Media Description

Do you prefer to be the driver or a passenger on road trips?

My preference is to be a passenger, but I am willing to drive in all cases except one. I will NOT drive when we are pulling our RV. I know my limits and I know that I don't have the experience needed to safely drive on the highway or navigate turns while pulling the beast. (I did pull the RV once around several blocks in our neighborhood and that was enough for me!)

I'm so appreciative that Scott enjoys driving - even while pulling our rig. But, there's even places that he would rather not take the RV. We read a lot about traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway with an RV, and decided to limit where we pulled our trailer. While the road is good and the speed limit is only 45 mph, there are lots of curves and tunnels, narrow sections of roadway, some low hanging trees, limited cell phone coverage and no passing is permitted for much of the distance.

What driving limits do you have?
