North part of the GSP has some bridges with under 13' clearance at the sides, you have to be VERY careful about what lane your in. As said, do NOT try the Merrit - its a no-go.
Take the GSP to I-287 North, follow either over the Tapanzee (now renamed) to 84 or my preference is to take the NYS Thruway up to I-90 East towards Boston, pick up 495 AROUND Boston to 95 North. There is a Cabelas off 495 in Mass that you can boondock in. Used to even have a dump station but we never used it.
Basically seconding Lumpty's post.
We find 84 through CT to be a bear, always hit traffic. You won't enjoy 95 traveling north of NYC towards Boston.
After numerous trips to Maine, we prefer to drive a touch further and avoid the traffic delays, rough roads and aggravation that the other routes always provided to us.
