Multi 2017 Pioneer Takeover - April 28 & 29th - Ride Royal Blue!

I'm coming with a toyhauler like yours. What is the best route?

From North (I64 Lexington, KY) or South (I40 Knoxville, TN) get on I-75 and you take exit 144 in TN that is Stinking Creek Road. Take Stinking Creek road 4 miles East all downhill to RRB campground. They have a large sign on right side of road just past their entrance. The concrete bridge crossing Stinking Creek is narrow so be careful pulling in with anything over 30' long. Seen more than a few new toyhaulers get jacked up on the concrete by inexperienced drivers.

Also locals drive bats*** crazy speeds down that 45 mph road, seen more than one on its roof in front of RRB, look twice before pulling out driving anything.

Here is a live view i got from a buddy that lives close. Needless to say dust will not be a problem this trip.

Looks like google maps is taking me on some state highways off I40. Do you recommend this? Looks pretty curvy in spots.

That's the way I go. It's not that bad. Saves several miles

How far west of Nashville are you coming from? Take 840 around if you can as going through Nashville sucks. I live just off exit 14 on 840. If anyone needs anything coming through. I can't leave until 6:00 am Friday morning as my wife is on call until then

The town of montery kinda sucks but its not too bad. Our group has pulled 30'+ toyhaulers through there and RVs. it just seems to take forever once you get off the interstate for us nashville people. but since you are coming from AR you probably wont even notice.

If you want to stay on Interstate then you can add about 40 miles!

If you time your trip to go through Nashville just after morning rush (about 9:30) you will be fine to go 440. If you want to take your time 840 is great, there's never anyone on it just takes longer.

I'm coming from NW Arkansas. Leaving at 8 am I'm guessing I get to Nashville right around 4-5pm... ugh

Don't follow GPS other than I40 to I75 from south definitely from the North don't get off I75 onto 25W it will get you there, not sure about anything you are towing, plus it washed out in parts yesterday.

If you want a permanent solution later down the road, check out Auto Spring. I have there rear add a leaf and it's a high quality piece.

A weight distribution/anti sway bars works wonders. On my 2500 it squats the rear around 2" and the front about an inch. And I'm around 2000 lbs on the ball.
