peak traffic times in cities
Does anyone have a good resource to determine the best time to pull your camper through a major city?

Goggle maps. Turn the traffic setting on and you can see which roads are jammed during rush hour instantly. If you review over a few days you will be able to determine best time to cross,,,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Good advice IMHO, major cities will vary slightly. In general I would say stay away from them between 6:00 am tp 9:00 am and from 3:30 to 6:30 in the afternoon commute times. Again this will be different for each major area. Google traffic is your friend!

I agree. I have not towed everywhere, but have driven for work and personal travel in quite a number of major cities. The larger the city, the longer the rush hour periods. But what Dan said is a good rule of thumb. There are some areas that are just bad all the time, like the insane stretch of 94/294 between Hammond, IN and Markham, IL. I've never had a good experience through there during any daylight hours.
