Route suggestions Charleston, WV to Lancaster, OH

I'm towing a 46' DRV Houston (13'7" height) from Raleigh NC to the Jayco service center in Middlebury, IN next week. Google maps takes me via I-77 thru Charleston WV then via US-33 at Ravenswood. Then US-33 up to Lancaster OH where I'm overnighting at the Loves. The Good Sam's planner takes me up I-77 all the way to Parkersburg, then west across US-50 to get to US-33 at Athens, OH. That adds over 30 miles.

Has anyone traveled either of these routes? I don't see any showstoppers going the shorter way, but don't want to get caught in a corner towing this big rig.

Thanks!

  • I take US35 just west of Charleston WV from I64 to Chillicothe. Then North on US23 to Columbus where I pick up US33 NW of the city. Then US33 all the way up to the RV capital area. Just be aware on parts of US35, there are some bridge abutments that can rattle your ride. There is a new Loves RV just west of Columbus on I70.
