We will be traveling in Class A with tow from just north of Hannibal Mo to Rochester NY then from Rochester to Saguenay Canada this August. I have very little driving experience in this part of the country and no driving experience in Canada. GPS has suggested two routes to Rochester one was I55 to Chicago then I80/I90 the other was I72 I74 to Columbus then I71 to Cleveland then I80.
From Rochester NY to Saguenay Canada the gps takes us north into Canada on I81 then east in Canada on I20 thru Montreal and I40 to Quebec then north out of Quebec.
My concerns are the cost of tolls across I80/I90 (4 axles) and road constuction. Both route to Rochester appear to have a lot of construction.
My other concerns are driving in Quebec and Montreal. Are the road signs like ours? Are they well marked? Is traffic and driving better or worse than driving in large US cities? I have no idea what to expect.
I will do anything to AVOID CHICAGO, so the route through the middle of the country is more favorable, Construction is GOOD, just not fun for travel, timing will usually be key, - check the state DOT web site to see if they will let you in on the construction time schedule.
Canada, unless it's drastically changed, is just like the US.
Sounds like a great trip - just take your time and enjoy the drive.
BOL,
