Best Route Class A MH to Long Island, NY
Looking for recommendations on the best route to take driving a diesel MH to Long Island, NY. I'm coming from I-81 N / I-78 E.

The Tappan ZEE is further north than the GWB but you still would be caught in the Cross BronX traffic(if you come down the Thruway I87) you could take the cross Westchester expressway (truck Legal) to I95 south and then approach the Throgs Neck from that direction. If there is a massive jam at the GWB AND the cross Bronx it might be worth it. But to get to the Tappan Zee the only legal way I know is 78 to 287 to 87 (adds about 18 miles to the trip). So keep the radio tuned to 1010 WINS. The station will tell you the wait times to get across the GWB INBOUND toward NYC for both the upper and lower level. You want the upper level only. I have seen the back up over one hour. Then the Cross Bronx can have a back up just as bad. Unless there is an accident on the GWB then a long inbound wait time for the GWB means almost for certain a long delay on the Cross Bronx.
Where you thinking Verazzano bridge? The tolls are really vicious there . First toll is the outer bridge crossing which is $34.00 with EZPASS and $42.00 without. Then the Verazzano narrows bridge is $34.00 cash or $20.50 EZPASS.
For the campground resist the urge to take the Southern Parkway. It looks tempting but it will shave a foot or so off the top of your rig. Exit 48 to Round Swamp Rd.
