So basically you're saying everybody on here is a moron who is going to give you bad advice? Sorry, but I haven't found that to be the case at all. And the big advantage here is you often get advice from multiple people. So if you have 10 people telling you one thing, and 1 person telling you something different, then most of us are smart enough to figure out who to listen to. I have seen bad advice on here, but there is usually somebody right there to counter it.
I don't think anyone is calling folks morons. Just that people have different wants/needs/etc. that affect the choices they make. What is a good route for Joe may be a terrible route for Jim. Sure 10 people are telling you to go via Route X and one is telling you to go via Route B - seems simple, go with the majority. Except, maybe the majority who answered all have small Cs or Bs and the one solo has a 45ft A (just like yours). In that case, you're better off going against the majority.
I've been smart enough to figure all that out when I've either asked for advice or I make sure I clarify when giving advice. This is a RV forum for people to exchange information about RVing. This particular section of this forum is titled "Roads and Routes." By it's very name it is here for people to discuss various roads and routes and ask questions. What I can't figure out is why there are people on this subject that they don't think should be here and complaining about people using the forum exactly like what it was designed for? Seems to me like if you don't think people should be discussing their experience with different routes and asking advice for roads to take that they should not be clicking on a forum that is titled "Roads and Routes!"
