41’ MH and Almost always take US highways/ some state roads instead of freeways if reasonable because of more interesting things to see. We don’t generally avoid cities and in fact most times prefer the freeway through or bypass freeway around , but we do pick the “time” we go through them.
Perhaps the work life I spent driving triples makes that more comfortable as the motorhome and towed feel small comparatively. That and I learned to be clear and intentional in traffic as I’m bigger than them, they will move : )
My Apple maps allows “avoid highways” ( freeways) and I preview the route the day / days before. We run generally Apple Maps and a Garmin at the same time ,only if they disagree do I get concerned. The Navigator has the paper Rand McNally map handy
