PA to Stowe Vermont

Thanks for the replies, My coach is almost 43', and I have a toad. I think I'll stay on the main roads. Do you guys have any suggestions on a route to warren (near Rockland) Maine from Stowe? Thanks, Bruce

AdirondackJack has a very reasonable plan. Note that 22A merges into 7 just past Vergennes; continue on 7, to I-189, to I-89. (I-189 is about a mile long.)

Other routes through Vermont are perhaps more scenic, but generally not as amenable to RV travel particularly with a large rig. Route 17 comes to mind as a pertinent example of this—it would be an alternate route to get across to route 100, and the Appalachian Gap it goes through has a wonderful view from the top, but the approaches are quite steep and have sharp corners. It would certainly be possible to traverse it in a large class A, at least during non-winter months, but many drivers would not enjoy the process. VT 108 through Smuggler's Notch (youtube video) is a more extreme example, absolutely beautiful but quite unsuitable for any sizable RV. Often it catches a couple RVs each year (as in they get physically caught/wedged in....)

I agree with Drew - there are some beautiful scenic routes throughout the Green Mountain State and especially that 17 over to 100. We take it when we go over to Ben & Jerry's but I would never pull our Fiver over it. Niki and I love our day trips through Vermont farm country - it shows us that the grass roots American Spirit is alive and doing well.

I'll second AdirondackJack and highly recommend the Lake George RV resort.

We spend Summers up in the Lake George area and recommend the route that Google Maps will plot for you. Take I-87 North to Queensbuty, then East on 149 to pick up 4 into Vermont. Pick up 22A North in Fair Haven to South Burlington and then I-89 South to pick up 100 into Stowe. We have run the entire route (with a 38' 5th Wheel) and it's easy and very scenic especially up through Vermont.
The Campground we would recommend would be on 149 just a short ways after you get on it at either The Lake George RV Park (http://www.lakegeorgervpark.com/) or Moose Hillock (http://moosehillock.com/). Both are very nice.
