What is the best RV to rent in Nashville for a Tennessee road trip?
A Class B camper van or a compact Class C is the best rig for a multi stop Tennessee trip that takes in the Smokies and the Natchez Trace.
It handles narrow, winding mountain roads such as the Roaring Fork loop and parks easily at overlooks.
On the Natchez Trace, tanks matter more than size, because the Park Service allows RVs up to 55 feet including a tow vehicle but its three free campgrounds have no hookups or dump stations.
Meriwether Lewis Campground at milepost 385.9 is the closest of the three to Nashville.
The park campgrounds in the Smokies also lack hookups, apart from ten sites at Look Rock, so rent a self contained rig and fill the fresh water tank before you leave Nashville. Renting closer to the Smokies instead.
