Class A travel without interstates
Hi guys, Class A motorhomes are the largest RV’s and generally need a bit more space to navigate than others. I’m curious how many of you avoid interstates for smaller towns and middle America? ...

I don't find it any worse driving a large class A for work, pulling my own 41 foot toy hauler, or driving my SUV in heavy city traffic - the heavy traffic sux.
What I try to do is time my trip so I'm not driving through a large city during rush hour. I also consult the Google Maps app on my phone and check the traffic through town and then make a decision whether to proceed through town or bail and find another route.
I guess I'm still young enuf to not be too bothered by the heavy traffic; I just treat it for what it is. I avoid the outside lanes and stay in the middle lanes as much as possible so I don't have to change lanes when lanes end or move over for merging traffic.
One other point comes to mind and that is why I don't like taking routes through small towns. Usually I'm trying to get from point A to B and find the Interstates and US highways the best way to go. While I like small towns I don't like having to slow to 25 mph and stop for all the red lights in small towns. Basically it's kind of like driving through a large town with heavy traffic - it slows my progress.
