OP has Millville as home base, which is in Cumberland County, midway between the Delaware River and Atlantic City - to get to I-76 and/or I-81 from where he is would not be very straightforward. That part of NJ has little in the way of fast thruways anywhere - Millville is a good 45 mins to an hour just to the Delaware Memorial Bridge, I-95 or the NJ Turnpike. From farther north in Jersey where you can get to I-195 and across the Delaware at the PA Turnpike, it's different but from down south, it's not so cut and dried.
Small inconvenience compared to wrangling an RV in the madhouse beltway of DC.
I agree, which I why I suggested 301 or 13. It was others who suggested I-76 (the PA Turnpike) and I-81, which does not compare favorably to the eastern route alternatives. In addition, the OP is going to Smithfield, which is right on I-95. For him to use I-81 and I-77 is like going from Chicago to St Louis by way of Minneapolis. Now if he was headed to the Smokies, that would be MUCH different.
