Maine to Florida 1st time in our 5th Wheel

Hi Folks
We have been 5th wheel owners for 9 years and just got a new rig in August.
We are in the process of retiring, and this will be the biggest trip so far. We are leaving Portland ME on January 28 with reservations in Orlando FL on Feb 1, so we realize that it will not be a leisurely trip, but it shouldn't be an all nighter either. We HAVE TO avoid tunnels and PREFER to avoid NYC and DC. We will be stopping every 200 miles to fuel up. Best route? Recommendations on places to spend the night on the way down? We would like to spend 5-6 hours on the road each day, which should give us plenty of time (4 driving days). We don't mind I-95, except for NYC and DC. Suggestions? Thanks.
