East coast

Planning a east coast trip from Ont through Montreal to Sherbrooke Que,across to Bangor Maine,then up to NB Canada and Nova Scotia.Road #s from Sherbrooke, 212,27 in Maine down to 16 to #8 to #2, across to Bangor then #9 across to NB or up I95 to NB. Are these good in a 35ft 5er Thanks John R
  • I was looking a at similar route for our east coast trip in June coming back. I went on Google maps and enlarged the map until I at street level then followed the route I was going to take, even checked out a gas station. I have a 27 foot trailer.
  • We recently did a trip from eastern Connecticut to Disney World Florida and did I95 pretty much the whole way except around New York we took 287.
    It’s longer but takes the same amount of time as it would if you
    Stayed on i95. Just less traffic and other issues.
    As for height and length we were pulling our 42’ fifth wheel that is 13’3’ tall. No issues. We also have the good Sam RV gps which you can plug in your heights and weights. Worked good for us.
    As for gas stations we have a 50 gallon external tank in the bed of our truck so we would get to our destination, set up and then go to town and fill up truck. We took our time driving and stopped at two campgrounds along the way.

    What does this have to do with a route through Ontario, Quebec, N.S.. N.B. Maine ? ? ? ?
  • Not sure what it means,we to have lots of fuel on board, did google maps not a difficult road but it is nice to hear from someone else who has driven it whether it is narrow. 2 lane is for sure slow but usually more senic..
  • Rt. 9 has been given considerable upgrades over the past few years but still has some curves/inclines. RVs do take it all the time. 95 is a better road but somewhat boring as the scenery isn't that great.
