NJ to Vermont
We are driving from NJ to Morrisville, VT and I have recently been reading some info that is making me rethink our route. We are taking the GSP to 287 to I-87, and I think all that is fine. It is the ...

Thanks so much for the info! OUr campground is on 15, so we don't have to get back on 100 after we get on 15. Our map basically has us doing what you suggested as the less scenic route (I think I missed 107 when I looked at it before). Thanks so much for the info and advice!

100 would be fine for a travel trailer. It's not perfectly flat or straight, with a few decent hills, but it's not extraordinarily steep nor has any hairpin curves or other things that make it unsuitable for big vehicles. 9 has a couple more substantial (longer) hills, but still is a quite reasonable route for an RV.
I don't know why you'd go from 100 to I-89 to 15 and basically back to 100 to get to Morrisville rather than staying on 100; it looks to me like about an hour of extra driving with no great benefit.
Probably the quickest route would be I-87 to exit 20, NY 149 to US 4 into Vermont and to 100, north to Morrisville. Taking 100 to 107 to I-89 and back to 100 might be almost as quick, a little less scenic, and a little bit straighter.
You absolutely should avoid taking the trailer through Smuggler's Notch (VT 108 between Stowe and Jeffersonville) at all costs. It's a very pretty road, but the stretch through the notch is entirely unsuitable for an RV.
