Thanks for all of the info on I75. What about the other routes? are they faster? are they easier? less traffic? I am just like to see all options.
I am not worried about my propane or battery use for boondocking.
Thank you
First, total drive time, IMHO, is NOT the question on a trip like this, it's the drive time to get to a warmer place to stop for some sleep, that is the issue. Especially if you have no idea way to preheat your trailer before you stop for some sleep.
Secondly, again IMHO, you are underestimating the amount of time it will take with a furnace running to totally deplete a standard RV / deep cycle battery. I've seen nearly new, fully charged batteries totally depleted in a single (too short) night.
Finally, again, if you are planning to drive until you need to stop and sleep, you will NOT have the luxury of stopping at one of the few campgrounds open up there at that time of year.
