Tolls while traveling across the US
Hello, we will be traveling across the US to Maine from Wi. next year and going through quite a few states. We are unsure how to address the tolls we will encounter. Please advise what is the best way...

The NYS issued E-ZPass has no monthly fees with an automatic replenishment account. If you drive the NY Thruway fairly often, they offer a "Motorhome Plan" for E-ZPass holders where you're charged the same per axles rates as a car instead of the "tall vehicle" rates that large trucks and buses pay.
This IMHO is about the best deal for an EZ-Pass if you take the Thruway even once or twice in a motorhome. It means a savings of about half the toll, which means the initial setup has more than paid for itself the first time you go across the state.
Many of the toll roads will take cash or credit cards, or will bill by mail based on license plates, but those are generally more expensive options than EZ-Pass (or I-Pass, Illinois's name for their EZ-Pass system). Some roads do have limitations on when or where or what vehicles cash etc. can be used.
