Having just returned from the New York City area, I'll second the warning on crazy drivers. I don't think those nuts weaving in and out had any idea how close they came to heaven.
But on a more practical warning. The regular travel lane on a multi-lane road becomes rutted with age. The ruts are easy to see late in the day with the sunlight slanting in from the side. They're invisibke otherwise. The problem is that they can fill with water during a good rain. We hydroplaned our first camper and did a 180 on I-95 with the trailer whipping back and forth, and a couple of semis less than a half mile behind. The TT actually spun the truck around and dragged us backward into the median. If ever find that salesman who let us drive out with no WD or anti-sway gear knowing that we were newbies, I may just have to explain a few things to him.
