Leaving only 2 days (one overnight) to get there is a stretch. It's 800 miles so you'll need to do 400 a day. The best average speed you can hope for is 50 MPH so you'll be driving a solid 8 hours each day and the time from unhook to hookup will be more like 11 hours, especially since it's all new to you.

To avoid the nastiest traffic in the northeast, you'll want to take either US50 or I-70 to I-81 to Harrisburg, then I-80 to US209 to I-84 (I-81 between Harrisburg and Scranton is rough with construction). Going this way adds a few miles, even more reason to add a day.
