Take I-295 East around Jacksonville. To avoid Atlanta and Jacksonville, Take I-40 to Ashville, NC. Then I-26 to Spartanburg, SC. Then take I 85 South to Commerce, Ga. and then take US 441 South. Through Athens, Watkinsville, onto Madison, Ga. Take the US 441 bypass around Madison to I-20. Take I-20 west one exit GA 83 South. Take Ga 83 South through Monticello to Forsyth, Ga. and Get on I-75 South. Take I-75 South to I-4 South in Orlando, and then US 98 to Wauchula. These are all good, wide roads, well marked, and will easily accommodate your 5the wheel. There are plenty of places where you can refuel, stop for meals, and even a few RV parks and state parks close by as well.
Do take the 441/129 Bypass but instead of turning Left at the light on 441 bypass where the ChicFilA and Wal-Mart is, is to go straight thru the light (Chic Fil A will be on the left, Wal-Mart on the right) and its a two lane road about a mile long (Lions Club Rd.), to the stop sign and turn left onto GA 83. Saves getting on and off of I-20. There is one grade level rail line, but the crossing is relatively smooth and level.
There is a Pilot if you make the left and stay on 441 bypass, but there is an Exxon on 83 at the interchange that will be less crowded and easier to maneuver in and out of.
