Route Overview

The route covers approximately 2,800 kilometres when factoring in the inland detour to Atlanta:

• Miami to Savannah: 780 kilometres, Interstate 95 North
• Savannah to Atlanta: 400 kilometres, Interstate 16 West
• Atlanta to Philadelphia: 1,250 kilometres, Interstate 85 to Interstate 95 North
• Philadelphia to New York/New Jersey: 150 kilometres
• New York/New Jersey to Boston: 350 kilometres

Critical note for RVers: Interstate 95 is a major commercial artery. In the Northeast, parkways like the Merritt in Connecticut or Garden State in New Jersey often have low clearances and prohibit RVs. Always stick to the Interstates.

Choosing Your RV

Interstate 95 handles heavy traffic with particular congestion near major cities.

Campervans Excel for Urban Environments

• Deluxe Van Camper and Super Van Camper
• Easier parking near tournament sites
• Fuel economy: 11-14 litres per 100 kilometres
• Saver 2 for budget-conscious couples

Motorhomes for Comfort

• Compact Motorhome offers the best compromise.
• Midi Motorhome sleeps four to five.
• Saver 4 and Saver 6 for budget groups

RV Navigation and Tolls

Tunnel Restrictions

Propane is prohibited in the Baltimore Harbour and Fort McHenry Tunnels. Use the Interstate 695 Key Bridge or western loop instead.

E-ZPass Essential

Ensure your rental has an E-ZPass. Tolls for a two-axle RV from Miami to Boston can exceed $150 Canadian due to commercial rates on the New Jersey Turnpike and New York bridges.
