Wisconsin to Maine Trip/Travel Questions

Planning a trip from S.E. Wisconsin to Abbot, Maine this summer with our Class C and 29' enclosed UTV trailer. Will have two drivers splitting drive time and plan is to make sleep stops on route (truck stops, rest areas where able, etc.).

Trying to decide on which is our better route once we get to the I90/I80 split in Ohio. There really isn't that much difference time wise so the question would be which has less tolls, better road conditions, etc. On either choice, if you've done a similar route- what were good RV friendly fuel/eat/rest/sleep spots you remember?

Anyone who has made a trek east, I'd appreciate your thoughts, input and suggestions.

Thank You all in advance!

    I probably would do I-90 to I-86 to I-88, and then NY7 to VT9 to NH9 to US202. (Around Albany, that involves taking I-90E to I-87N to get to NY7. The Thruway is free of charge for travel between I-88 and I-87.) This is basically loggenrock's route, except substituting I-90 / I-86 for I-80 / I-81.

    We went to Michigan from NH last Fall. So...will try our route in reverse...90 to 80 across PA as 90 in NY is an expensive toll road. Then 81 north to 88 in Binghamton, NY up to Troy/Albany. We then use 7/9 across southern VT. We stay N on 9 up to Concord, NH, but at least this gives you an idea on an alternate route to the east. Hope it helps.
