I did several times, and will be doing so again come this October. It is one of my favorite roads to travel. Take it slow and easy. No stops and light traffic as commercial vehicles are prohibited. There is always lots of wildlife - mainly deer and turkey, but occasionally you'll see others too.
There are 2 free CGs on the Trace. We often stop at the Meriwether Lewis CG near Hohenwald, TN, home of the Oliver molded fiberglass TT.

We towed our 5th wheel down that road.
The only issue we had (besides the incessant rain) was that we turned down one of the scenic pulloffs and the "NO RV TURNAROUND" sign wasn't noticible till we had already made the turn. And they weren't kidding.. we had to back the rig all the way back out. Not a fun day.

We've done the "Trace" with a 40' Motor Home pulling a toad with no problems.
Beautiful drive. Go slow and enjoy the scenery.

It's been about three years, but I don't recall any problems with a 40 ' DP and tow. This is a posted on the NPS website: 4. Is the Parkway RV friendly? Yes it is. Almost all of the pull-offs offer either pull through or circular drive access. If an area does not then it is posted that there is no circular drive. Also there are numerous campgrounds along the Parkway. The Parkway campgrounds are free and primitive, while most non-Parkway campgrounds charge a fee, but offer electricity, dump stations, etc.
Speed limit is 50 mph. I don't remember the availability of fuel stops along the way. Something to research or fill up first.

Wonderful easy drive with a 40’ Fiver.Really enjoyed the whole trip back in the fall of 2009.
Recommend Trace State Park – Belden, MS, just west of Tupelo and on the west side of The Trace.
Great site is #40 – Lake view out the back window, satellite view with trees all around and 50 amps.What’s not to like.

PS: H & L Drove this in like 2007 or 8?You’ll have to search old Journal Entries but I recall Howard writing up things about the drive.
