Tampa FL to St Johns NL

[TonyP]

We are traveling from Tampa FL to St Johns NL around the first week of May 2014 . We did this trip before but the previous times we either went through Niagara Falls or through Maine to New Brunswick.

We like the NB route better but do not like traveling through NY especially with a 43 ft motor home towing a car.

Can anyone tell me the best route to Maine but bypassing NY.

Would appreciate any help .

Tony,

Welcome to the FMCA forum!

The only way to miss the big apple traffic, is to run West of the city.

Look at taking Rt. 81 North to Binghamton NY. then Rt 88 North east to Rt 90. Then run RT 87 North.

You will run into some traffic around Albany NY area.

Then one needs to decide whether to run the Mass. Pick, Rt. 90 East bypassing Boston. Best for large coach and towing a car.

The other option is to run Rt 87 north and take some two lane roads East across, but they are not real friendly for large coaches and towing a car. Pretty drive, but slow and some narrow roads. Turns into a wondering, roundabout Rt.

A number of Good North / South Rts. no real good roads running East and West, Hills and Mountains.

Rich.
