All comments and suggestions will be appreciated.

We just drove US-41 across Florida in our little 31' motorhome, pulling a Toyota Highlander, from Naples to the Miami-Everglades RV Resort near Homestead. Very nice, easy drive. Flat, basically straight, and little traffic. (I drive at the speed limit, so it's usually other people who have to worry about passing me, not vice versa.) I can't compare it to I-75, but I saw no reason to avoid US-41 if you'd like to get off an interstate.
We also stopped at the Big Cypress Visitor Center, which gives you an opportunity to learn about that end of the Everglades ecosystem.
