Harrisburg PA to Cape Cod
Can anyone tell me how the route from Harrisburg PA to Cape Cod would be taking I-78 to I-287 to I-95? We are pulling a 38' 5th wheel. Does 287 get me around NYC without too much hassle? Thanks.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I will stick to 81 and 84.
Don't quit on the other route yet...go 81 then thru Allentown on 22 to 33 north to 80 to 209...up thru Milford,NJ..to 84...then stay on 84 all the way to the Mass line..take 90 to 495 the cape.....I just came that way , and it beats them all....think 81 to Scranton still has const on it...Chuck
Then you must have hit it lucky. I-81 becomes I-78 when you veer off to get to Rt. 22. That means you have to pass through the interchange with Rt. 100 at Fogelsville - HEAVY truck traffic here. Rt. 22 sees more traffic than I-78 and is often congested; most of us locals avoid it if we can.
I will agree Rt. 22 is more direct, however you may end up wasting your time sitting/crawling in traffic. Rt. 209 is a great drive EXCEPT for pavement conditions just north of East Stroudsburg and (if you choose to go this way) in Milford, PA.
