This will take you to 81 S which cuts out all the NJ, DE & MD tolls sans the NJ PA boarder which is cheap. 81 S will bring you directly to 40 W in TN. DE has to be the highest $ toll per road mile. I am in the North J area if you have time or need something.

Thanks for the help guys. I did hear of avoiding the 95 at all costs in and around DC.

We orig talked about going back there. But it's several hundred miles out of the way and we just spent a year there that weekend last summer.

We got Carolina and Memphis BBQ to sample this time.

AAA actually will not cover a tow on this I found out because it has a "modified box" on it. A regular 1 ton pickup or camper truck is fine, but a flatbed or hauler or utility box on the back disqualifies it. So my regular insurance has towing covered in the UNLIKELY event we need it.
