Hi Craftlady, and welcome to the iRV2 forums. Glad you joined us!
My personal opinion varies... if I'm destination-oriented I'll stick to the Interstates and major US highways. I've not been the luckiest traveler (tires, mechanical stuff) earlier in my life and like to be on well traveled roads when "I've got to get there" is the priority.
If leisure traveling I'm more inclined to take US and state highways and enjoy the drive, eat locally, etc. Primary consideration is overhead clearances.
In spite of using modern navigational aides I still buy a motor carrier road atlas every couple of years. If a highway isn't suitable for a big rig I do extra research.
Have a safe and enjoyable trip to Kansas!
