Question Rt. Navigation Question

My husband and I are headed to Cool Breeze Campground just south of Galax, VA tomorrow and Google Maps is taking us by way of NC89 and NC18 off of I-74. I see what appears to be a couple of hairpins in that route. We have a F350 dually pulling a 35'6" Grand Design Reflection fifth wheel. Has anyone had experience pulling along that route? We're not worried about the power but more like the length and low clearances. Thank you in advance!

My experience in that neck of the woods is limited but will throw this in. You probably already know this, but, for example, the hwy 89 (W Pine St) hairpin just west of Cumberland Knob Rec Area, zoom in, right click and use measuring tool, i.e. length of RV. Also, I run the route from satelite image and go down to street view to read clearance signs. It has saved me running the likes of Manhattan and Long Island. Hope this helps

Safe travels!

The picture given of the 'hairpin' turn is very doable!! It's just a turn.
