Road way and Elevation issues while traveling

Closer you get to East Coast the more you have to pay attention to SIGNAGE
SIGNAGE about upcoming bridge/overpass/train trellises was usually with an Alternate Route

Pay Attention to SIGNAGE and LOOK UP!

Best advice given! Some of our roads aren't much more than converted cow paths but carry route numbers so their representation is deceiving. Turnpikes and highways are not always as they seem.

Buy the Garmen Dezl 770 LMTHD model. The 7 inch screen makes the world of difference as you are driving along and bouncing on the highway. The screen is steady, clear and easy to read. Life time map dates are provided free. The smaller screen Garmen models are difficult to read as your RV is bouncing along the highway as you have to keep your eyes on the road with only quick glimpses to your Garmen.

Elevation issues? Like running out of power? On your "way back" depending on the route, WY/CO/NM have some real passes to pull. No high elevation until you get to the Rockies otherwise.

If you're looking for specific "roads" to avoid across 2/3 of the entire country, that's a tall order.
Sounds like a great trip though. Don't get caught up in getting "caught up" somewhere. Generally unless there's a "no trucks" sign, residential street or a forest road type road, you shouldn't have any issues.

We traveled all over the USA using secondary/back roads exclusively (hate Interstates)
We are 13'4" high, 34' long 5th wheel pulled bu Quad Cab/Long Bed truck

We used just a regular paper Atlas

Motto for back road travel:
"When in doubt go about"

If you stick to the main highways there are hundreds of larger vehicles and RVs using the same roadway every day.
