Then I'm headed back to NJ after that stop. Would i do RT100 all the way south or cut over somewhere? Any thoughts are appreciated. The route up was perfect.

My opinion on Rt 100: If you're uncomfortable with your rig whenever you're off the interstate, you'll be uncomfortable on Rt 100. It's mostly a single lane in each direction with some good climbs and descents

I'd happily drive our 35' motorhome (55' w/toad) on 100 any day. It's so much more interesting than the interstate. But it's certainly more work for the driver than cruising down the interstate.

I have run it (rt. 100) with my 25'tt. all the way north to south. One single lane bridge that caught me off guard was the one to enter into Jamiaca State Park off 100 in southern VT.

Or it you take RT. 100 all the way south past Mt. Snow Ski Resort. The intersection of Rt. 100 in Wilmington. Touristy town with narrow streets. People would park on the side of the road a foot or two into the roadway. It was almost to the point, the state needs to have a truck route around that intersection (Routes 9 & 100) I have no idea how 53' semi's get there there on weekends, especially ski season.

I used to have a house just around the corner from that intersection in Wilmington (rt 9 and 100). The cup amd saucer cafe was great to have breakfast or lunch. Yes it can be very tight in town.

Last night we drivr 12 hours to get home. We went from Burlington to Rochester VT via Rt 89 to 100. Then down 100 over to fort ann amd back to 87. Traffic was insane down 87. It was still a great trip. I woukd go back again. Apple Island resort was a great place to stay. We stayed in a full hookup. Great campsite, room to breath between units and the cleanest bathrooms ive seen in a campsite. Very well maintained. Friendly staff amd hosts. Not many kids but it worked for us. Lake Champlain is gorgeous. Burlington is a blast to spend time in. We will definitely go back for a longer trip.

I tried posting pics but it says i dont have permission.
