Yes, but once you're on the Island, things get a little more interesting. It may a look a bit out-of-the-way, but I'd suggest taking the LIE(495) to the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway (Rt. 135). That will give you the quickest route to the South Shore. Your alternative is surface streets.
The S-OB ends at Merrick Rd (also known as Montauk Hwy). A short drive back west on Merrick Rd will get you to the Wantagh Parkway and down to Jones Beach.
Trucks/RVs are ok to travel on both the Meadowbrook and Wantagh Parkways south of Merrick Rd.
I live a few miles away .... like others said, take LIE (495) east to Seaford-Oyster Bay Expy (SOB 135). Take the SOB south to Merrick Rd. Then head west on Merrick Rd to Wantagh Parkway, take Wantagh Parkway south to the Jones Beach Theater. You MUST get on the on the Wantagh Parkway at Merrick Rd, If you get on anywhere else you WILL hit a bridge and wreck your RV.
