Ernest, what are planning to drive on the trace?
I've driven on it several times but don't know if I have ever seen a Class A on it.
The rules say nothing over 1 and 1/2 ton
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-20...l1-sec7-43.pdf
but their website say it can accommodate RV's up to 40,000 lbs.

You might can call one of the offices to see to make sure.

Last July, I drove the Berk up the Natchez Trace from Jackson, MS to around Williamsport, TN; where I swung over via US-412 to I-65, and then to Nashville. Did 320 miles of the Trace.
The trip was very peaceful, not much traffic, very scenic and with pull-overs as previously posted. We stopped at the Kosciusko Museum along the Trace. It had had parking for the Berk. Would do the Trace again.

I ran the Trace a couple years back. Looking to do it again. We did it when Gov. closed down , nothing was open. We are 52' total length. No problem. Very nice ride!

We drove it last year. Started north and headed south to the end. We spent 3 days in it. It's a very easy drive in a Moho. The only real issue is some lots of the turn outs will not have room for a Moho so we didn't get to see some of the thinks we wanted. The campgrounds are very nice. No reservations but they were not full. No water or electricity. Absolutely beautiful sites. We found little traffic and enjoyed the Drive. 45-50 the entire way I think 465 miles. We have a book someplace that is worth getting. It has lots of stuff to see that you could easily miss. Also it explains the history of the Trace. If I find it I'll let you know. I don't mind loaning it out.
