I have made the trip between Tuscaloosa AL and Wichita falls TX using US82 on many trips back in my working days pulling my OFF-ROAD POPUP.
Like said there is alot of four lane and alot of two lane still remaining.
For us gas stops was no problem as this goes through several large towns.
We would park over night in motel parking lots sometimes. Lots of strange things to see along the US82 corridor from Large Airplans to Lawn Mowers collections.
Always got a motel in Greenville MS area before crossing the Miss River. Be sure to bring along your own water as the water is very bad looking (BROWN).
When you hit Texarkana going WEST we would be sure to find a WHAT-A-BURGER place and chow down before crossing the big road to Ft Worth... Best hamburger in the country...
For us the US 82 continues on to Wichita Falls and we get to visit the wife's family cemetery in Gober TX near Bonham State Park.
