I-20 Through Jackson, Mississippi
Anyone driven the east/west I-20 route through Jackson, Mississippi? How is the road towing a travel trailer/fifth wheel though Jackson? Thanks in advance.

Have driven this route many times and never have liked it. I swear that I could tell I was going over that road even if I was riding in the back of a hearse.
Also want to add that Monroe, while better than either Shreveport or Jackson, is pretty bad itself.
I also suggest taking 220 around Shreveport, but even that is not a lot of fun.
Another issue is that as you approach Dallas, i.e. anywhere west of Shreveport, the traffic speed picks up. I like to travel in the 60-65 mph region, but feel I am walking at that speed once hitting Texas. The road has a 75 mph limit and most 4 wheelers try to exceed that, along with many 18 wheelers.
Now, I do have to say the best road I know about is !-20 between Vicksburg and Monroe. Flatter than a pancake, wide, and not excessive traffic. Plus pretty cheap gas right now.
