Does anyone have a good resource to determine the best time to pull your camper through a major city?

Obviously **NOT** during rush hour/s..:(

The duration of rush hours depends on where you are - and where you are going.

Let's say you're traveling between San Diego and Santa Barbara (California) through Los Angeles. (Using I-5 or the 405 freeway).

Week days: Travel between 10AM and 3PM (at the latest!) - then AFTER about 7PM - or in the "wee hours" of the morning - beginning around 2AM - 4AM ....(6AM is about 2 hours too late to be going thru L.A. on a weekday).

"Traffic radio" (etc.) is not going to help.
Think about it - (Yikes!) - 10 million people in L.A.

Week ends - somewhat more flexible - but consider the season. Beach? - airport traffic for holidays?

So GREAT resources ARE a clock - and common sense!..:W
