Hwy 13 from Newark, NJ to Chesapeake Bay, Va?
We've been up to Maine and are now headed back south so I am looking for advice in what to expect on hwy 13 from Newark, NJ to the Chesapeake Bay area in Virginia. If you would NOT recommend this rout...

I-295 parallels the turnpike and will also take you to the Delaware Memorial Bridge which has a toll leaving NJ. Following I-95 avoids some turnpike tolls and the bridge toll, but takes you through Philadelphia which can be a traffic nightmare at times especially in an RV.
The NJTP is really probably the best bet, any tolls saved would be used in time or fuel instead. And the TP drops you right at the Delaware Memorial Bridge...
Another possible route, but the most tolls, would be to take the Garden State Parkway South from I-95 to its end and take the Cape May Lewes Ferry to DE. Check the rates, it may be cheaper to disconnect the toad. The ferry ride is about 90 minutes. Food is available on the ferry and in the terminals. Cape Henlopen State Park near the ferry on the DE side has a campground. US-113 is pretty easy to get to from the ferry terminal.
