We're in a 34 ft MH with toad. Plan to enter skyline drive through Luray on 211, staying at Big Meadows for several nights.

Leave skyline drive on 211 to Culpepper, 3 through Fedrerickburg to 301, over to Maryland. This way we avoid DC and the contruction ther

I've checked Mountains East, seems 211 has some steep grades and hairpin turns. Are these problems if we take our time, I'm sure others take these routes?

You should make it up and over just fine. Some of the turns are sharp but not so tight that you can't stay in your lane. If the 18 wheelers can make it you can too.

Big Meadows is nice, should be at least 10 degrees cooler up there.

Be careful on the rt 301 bridge over the Potomac; the road goes down to two lanes and it's narrow. On the other side it opens back up to four lanes. Other than that routes 3 and 301 are great roads.
