US 1 in Maine
Plan on traveling in Maine this summer and was wondering how US 1 is for towing a fifth wheel? Any advice or info is appreciated, Dave

North of Portland there are very few sand beaches and Belfast is way inland from the actual coast. We have a summer place on the water in East Boothbay and a 43' Trawler for cruising the coast.
No offense, but this gave me a chuckle. :)
While US-1 in Belfast isn't as damp as the swim platform on your trawler, I think to call it "way inland from the actual coast" is a bit of an overstatement. Belfast has 10' tides and everything!
Yes, US-1 bypasses all of the peninsulas with good reason, and I would never recommend towing a 5th wheel into every nook and cranny just to hit the highlights. If you tow down one of them be sure to spend the night or two. Both Camden Hills (electric) and Cobscook (no services) are lovely state parks for exploring their respective regions, both via US-1.
