Absolutely no problem !!
I have done it at least 6 times, usually in the late Fall
or early Spring.
I have seen class A's and 5th wheel, although they would have
some problems fitting into some of the campgrounds along the trace.
Take your time !!

The Natchez Trace is a road built on an old Indian Trail that runs from Nashville, TN, to Natchez, MS. We used to run it every year when we would go to Red Bay, Alabama, for service on our Tiffin. My husband was born near there and we loved the Trace. For 15 years, I drove our 40' Phaeton towing a car. Absolutely no problems. It is a bit narrow. . . you need to focus, not a lot of room for error, but I loved it. Maximum speed is 50 mph, 45 in the extreme northern part. No commercial traffic or trucks, just cars, pickups, etc. People out for a leisurely drive. There are point of interest along the way and a visitor's center along the route. Very relaxing. Almost always see wildlife. Lots of pull offs, places to stop for lunch. There are some comfort stations. Cell phones won't work well, though. Great drive.

If you like Southern food, eat at The Loveless Cafe just off the northern end of the Trace. Back by their event barn is a gravel parking lot large enough to accommodate any size rig.

TC no problem - we did it a few years ago, and I'm surprised anyone would think it's any kind of challenge. Maybe if you have a double-cab dually towing a forty-foot trailer, you might find it a good idea to take it slow in a few spots. But it's doable and a nice drive with some history stops. TC is piece of cake, with frosting. Enjoy...
