I-80 or I-280 thru Moline, IL/Davenport, IA?
Going to Denver via I-80 in a couple of weeks (no RV this trip) and was wondering what is the best route through this area, stay on I-80 or take I-280? We will be going through on a weekday in the ea...

I-80 is probably the easiest but using I-280 may be a few miles shorter. I-280 will take you through a bit more of the metro area, but not enough to matter and you will not need to slow down.
Just pay attention at 'the big X', which is where I-74 and I-80 meet in Illinois.
There was work being done on the I-80 bridge over the Mississippi a few months ago - you might call the Iowa or Illinois DOT and ask about it.
Never heard of any wind problem.
If timing is right, good food at 'Iowa Machine Shed' located just south of the I-80 and Iowa SR 130 (Northwest BLVD) exchange, exit 292. Be hungry. Really hungry. Get dessert.
Or stop at one of the Amana Colonies restaurants, located about 10 miles north of I-80 from exit 225. German food. Nothing dietetic. Yum.
Based on living in the quads for most of my life, I would recommend taking I-80.
And I think fuel is NORMALLY cheaper in Iowa then Illinois.
