I've towed my trailer up and down the mountains of Colorado and California. I've gone up Interstate 5 up California (horrible road surface). I've been stuck in Seattle traffic tie-ups. I've towed in r...

I'd take Lumpty's route. Have done that many times and yes, some of the CT cities are a PITA but are preferable to NYC any day.
Ignore the people who think you are making too much of this. You aren't. I have the utmost respect for people who admit they are squeamish in certain driving situations. You aren't weak-you are pragmatic. I lived within 30 miles of Boston for the first 57 years of my life and learned to drive in and around the city. I'll tackle just about anywhere but unless I had no other choice I would avoid NYC.
Thanks, I have decided to go with Lumpty's suggestion since I don't need to actually be in NYC. It's one of those times when Google Maps is not my friend.
Since I'll be traveling on a Sunday during mid-day I'll take the risk of going through Hartford on I84 since that's the most direct route to Foxboro where the RV Park is located.
Thank you everybody for your valuable suggestions/comments.
So we've been taking campers for years over NYC. It is not for the faint of heart. I do agree with all of the other routes. We live in NH and often travel to Maryland to Assateague island with our camper. That said on the way there we drive at night coming they NYC between 3 and 6 in the morning be depending on when we get out the door. If we have to drive during the day we drive the routes the others are mentioning or we even at times go up as far as Albany and either grab 90 back down or we deliver my mother to her home in western Mass thru the back hills of the Berkshire's and then take route 2 and 91. As my mother at times will go with us camping. But if it's daytime we avoid GW all together if we can.
