rand mcnally deluxe motor carrier's 2017 road atlas

The Benchmark series of atlases - mentioned above - for the Western states are awesome for RVers who want to explore the countrysides and not stay on interstates or in cities. We used them for travel and also for our 'fun' drives in the backcountry. No, they don't give you roads suitable for truckers. Many towns along secondary highways don't want the truck noise or weight so they're not allowed. That doesn't mean RVers can't drive through. In all our years of full-timing we never encountered bridges that we couldn't pass or highways we couldn't drive. We drove secondary roads, not interstates. I'm sure there are places in the East where you wouldn't want to take a RV but no problems in the West.... for the most part. There are mountain highways not recommended for truckers but RVers have no problem. Truckers are even banned from just driving through Yellowstone. I guess what I'm saying is not to rely solely on a trucker's atlas. A quick Google and you can find out lots of information on roads. It's also becoming common to find the actual 'drive' on YouTube. If you rely on the Truckers atlas you won't really see America.
