Wisconsin to Washington DC

We are planning a trip to Cherry Hill in mid-July. In the past we have gone down I39 to Champaign Il to I70 to avoid Chicago. Google Maps is suggesting I90 to Chicago, then South on I65 to I70. Any suggestions/life experience would be appreciated.

I am also considering taking I79 to I68 South of Pittsburgh to avoid the tolls in PA. Good? Bad? Thanks for any road knowledge.

We will be towing our 5th wheel.

    Map program suggestions are based on time - distances and estimated speed. They don't consider your preferences of vehicle.

    I use I-79 and I-68 when traveling to/from Harrisburg PA and Ohio. There are some mountains in West Virginia and western Maryland. The road is good and, there are no tolls.
    I avoid the Pennsylvania Turnpike whenever possible.

    definitely take the I-79 to I-68 route that you are considering. Used to use it all the time going from Fort Wayne, IN area to Baltimore Md to visit the grandkids.
