    As a truck driver and I recognize good drivers when I see them. Kudos to you, my man. Not everybody is a skilled and safe driver. I’m making a trip from Boston to Tampa next week for the first time in a while. This video was awesome.

    When traveling through Jacksonville, FL north or south bound on I-95, the shortest and fastest route will be taking I-295 east going around the city bridges. I just returned from 4 day camping trip to Savannah, GA with my fifth wheel, returning to central FL. I had always stayed on I-95 but found I-295 east a better route.

    Hello Robert, There is an RV Show this coming weekend at the Southern Florida Fairgrounds in West Palm Beach, FL. LOL that Wawa in Port St Lucie is the worst. Motorists leave their vehicles at the pump and go disappear to get food. Sometimes making it impossible to navigate in or out with an RV. But I really like that Flying J in Fort Pierce with the RV only island. And save .05 a gallon with the Good Sam card. I really liked this video especially seeing soooo many familiar sights. Thank you.

    I hear that about the rain my friend. I drove from Wyoming to Massachusetts in mid October last year and it legit rained for 3 straight days starting in Nebraska and didn't stop until I was in mass again. Made me feel like I wasn't even driving at times since I couldn't get away from the rain for even a min. The plus side is in Illinois it was a bit less heavy and I was able to see the Mississippi River pretty clear so that was nice.

      Garmin also make a RV GPS .But a trucker would work You can set your own parameters , height , width, weight ,number of axles ,etc, It even shows you what lane you need to be in .I can have mine set for 18 wheeler, RV or car. Works great. GPS w ill also find the quickest route. Mine also routes you around traffic jams, Keeps you away from lots of "bad" things. Mine is also set to avoid tolls.

      @RV Life on the Open Road Not sure now, but a few years ago my Garmin Truck GPS was right on the money for ETA's and did better for highway alerts and suggested detours than my friends Rand. We ran together for a few days, sold me on the Garmin. From my limited exp with GPS's I wish they would change how you enter an address, lets start with a zip code, that would help a lot.
