Midwest to GA - avoid steep grades?
My family and I are planning an extended winter vacation to Savannah Georgia. We have a 31 foot winnebago outlook and plan to tow a car. We've taken a few long range trips in our RV but this will b...

Based on what we've read, we plan to drive through Atlanta on a weekend. We also plan to skip Birmingham just to save some time. On the way back, when we have time, we can always drive through there. Since everyone's comments made me feel easier about driving the Chattanooga route, I think we'll be able to stick closer to the google maps route:
Kansas City -> St Louis, MO via I-70
St Louis, MO -> Mt Vernon, IL via I-64
Mt Vernon, IL -> Chattanooga TN via I-24
Chattanooga, TN -> Atlanta, GA via I-75
Atlanta, GA -> Savannah, GA via I-75/16
google maps puts that at about 15 1/2 hours, much more reasonable. We'll do a couple LONG driving days but will have more time for vacation when we get there. We're taking our cats and have purchased a couple 35 inch diameter nylon collapsible pet playpens. We haven't taken our cats on any trips. I have read a lot online and most people say to confine them in lieu of giving them the freedom to wander the RV while we are enroute. The nylon playpens are large enough so they'll hold a small litter box and I may include a small dish of water. Else most likely we'll offer water and food whenever we stop for gas. Any other tips for taking cats on long journeys?
