I-90 alternative thru New York
Traveling from Vermont to Niagara Falls tomorrow. Probably take I-90 westbound; but considering Hwy 20 instead due to the toll fees on I-90. Is Hwy 20 good for traveling with RVs ? Appreciate your ad...

Wound up driving from Rutland,Vt over to I-87 and down to I-90, getting on at Fultondale area.When I got off at MM19 in Buffalo, I was charged $44 for that 240 mile stretch, since I was pulling a 30' 5er with my GMC 2500 truck. NOT coming back to New York. New York officials should be ashamed to treat tourists like that, when you want them to come, camp and spend money in your state.
$.18 or $.19 per mile really doesn't seem too outlandish for a dually truck plus fifth wheel RV to me, as toll roads go. The NY Thruway is certainly not the lowest cost toll road, but also hardly the most expensive. It does happen to be longer than many, which can make the total tab rather expensive at the end.
The Ohio turnpike would be about the same cost per mile for your vehicle, for example. The Mass pike is a little cheaper ($.13 or $.14 per mile). The PA turnpike is more expensive. Toll roads in general are no fun.
