I just purchased our first camper its a 32ft kz showstopper was woundering how long does it take to get to florida from nj towing? whats the average speed? and we plan on stopping in georgia overnight where do most people stay?is there a app you can use for directions that show the restrictions ?

jznj,I can't answer most of your question but can tell you that, if you travel on the interstates at the recommended 60-65mph, you will average 50mph for the days travel. If you travel on the secondary roads your average will be somewhat less. This includes stops for fuel, potty breaks etc.There is Good Sam Camping app and RV Parky app, both of which are available for Iphone and Android devices. I think they will help you out a lot. Also, once in Georgia, you will find a lot of campgrounds along just about any road you travel. :) I have used CoPilot USA and found it quite useful. It is also available for Iphone and Android phones.Barney

When returning to Florida after visiting friends in Tuckerton, our first stop is a campground near Petersburg, Va. Next night a stop in Florence, Sc. If I feel like driving 8 to 9 hours, I can make it home to central Florida the third day. Or if I don't want to drive that much we may stop in Brunswick, Ga. then an easy drive the next day. We camp at Passport America campgrounds, all good overnight stops.Good luck and safe travels

As far as restrictions, you can't go through the Baltimore tunnels with propane. I've taken the beltway over the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Since this is your first camper I would recommend you not try to over do it on the driving. Pulling a TT is quite different than cruising with nothing. Your TT tires are rated for max 65 mph and if the WD hitch has not been set up well you will find the experience a challenge. I would recommend you stay off of the Interstate highways as much as possible until you have some experience and know what to expect.
