287 all the way down to the west side of the DFW metroplex, probably Decatur TX,
In my opinion a better alternative is to take US 82 near Wichita Falls and skirt far NORTH of DFW. There are several ways to get on down to I-20 such as US 69 from Bells, near Sherman, TX.
We tow our fifth-wheel from East Texas to Colorado almost every year and sometimes more often. We were there in June and in September last year. We have learned that it is better to take US 82 along the Red River. We avoid all the metroplex traffic and have a much more pleasant trip.
Agree about I-49 from Shreveport, though we sometimes go on to Jackson, MS and then drop down to Mobile.
