We have 2 routes to going south for the winter. First,quickest is to bite the bullet and take 95, cross the George Washington Bridge in NYC;take NJ Trpke -I-95 and In Maryland take 695 outer loop back to I-95. At DC, we would stay at Cherry Hill Park,College Park,MD. Mileage from RI,about 400 miles.Lots of stress but a good chunk out of the way...
Now, if we take route #2 we would take the Mass pike in Worcester to I-84. I-84 to I-87 to I-287 to NJ Trpke to Timberlane Campground in Clarksboro,NJ, about 385 miles. Not nearly as stressful but this is still the busiest roads in US.
We use Microsoft Streets & Trips, there are other programs that are just as good; my advice is find one and do some preplanning. We always have contingency plans. This is winter camping and not many cgs open till you get down below DC.
Next night is either NC or SC, somewhere along the I-95 corridor. It's usually pleasant traveling after the first 2 nights. We get to Florida on the fourth day usually,say Lake City area. Watch the forecasts for you route. Enjoy!
