My bad. What you said. But IIRC, the hills between Cincinnati,
Knoxville, Chattanooga & Atlanta are tame enuff for a trailer.

I usually take I-75 from Detroit all the way down, there are some large
hills in the Kentucky/Tennessee area, but no mountains. Maybe if you
went more west after Cincinnati until Georgia it might be better?

Good luck.

O.P. Why not bring Florida to you? (This works for Caribbean too.)

1) Plant Pink Flamingos outside your trailer.
2) Scatter Sand Inside Your trailer.
3). Obtain wave sounds machine and install.
4). Obtain Install tropical flora and a sprinkle of geckos
5). Replace living room furniture with pool/beach furniture.
6). Install hot tub in living room, add sun lamps. (Refer to the room
as "the spa".
7). Mix Margarita in blender.
8). Pour.
9). Put Jimmy Buffett on the CD Player.
10). Loose One Flip Flop; cut foot on pop-top. Apply suntan oil and
relax while someone else drives.

Feel free to add Floridian touches to taste.

Take the NY Throughway to NYC. Hook-up with I-95 it'll take you
straight away to Margaritaville. Oops! If you followed the above
recipe, you've already established residence in Margaritaville. Now
onward to the Conch Republic! ;-)

Nashville, Atlanta, and on into Florida. Or more simply...


I-75 doesn't go through Nashville, I presume you mean Knoxville..

It does get pretty hilly around there.

What about east to Albany, then south to NYC and I-95 to Florida like
everyone else? Lots of traffic but relatively flat...


Your route has to go thru the Appalachians.

However the Appalachians do count as mountains. If you want to avoid
them you have to go west to the Mississippi and then south to I 10. Or,
perhaps, you run along the St. Lawrence to the coast and then south
along the coast.

They run from Canada to Alabama.
