Well ... the Interstate highways are the same ... but the State highways are not the same.
We've noticed that State highways vary in two important respects:
1) The lane WIDTHS are not all the same. This has no bearing on the LENGTH of your RV, but is real important if you have a WIDE (100 inch to 102 inch) RV - of which many are.
2) The SHOULDERS are missing or very narrow on many State highways. This is real important if you need to pull off - as is often more necessary in an RV than when traveling in passenger vehicle. Also, from a pure safety viewpoint - what if one was to have a slow flat or a blowout occur on their RV on one those shoulder-less State highways ... of which there are plenty in the East.
Slightly changing the subject: I recommend one having an RV navigation system with built-in flagging or warning on overpass heights of you plan on exploring/sight-seeing back East off the Interstate or State highway systems. There's a lot of low overpasses back there.
