A car route answers how a typical passenger vehicle can get from here to there. An RV route has to answer several more questions.
Write down the real dimensions
Know total height, length, width, weight, and towing configuration as loaded for travel. Keep those numbers easy to check.
Check the constraint points
Review bridge clearances, weight limits, grades, tunnels, propane restrictions, closures, construction, fuel access, and the final approach.
Choose a humane driving day
Miles are not time. Wind, elevation, two-lane roads, fuel stops, pets, and setup all change the day. Choose overnight options before you need them.
Keep a usable plan B
A backup must fit the rig, be reachable with remaining fuel and daylight, and not depend on the same closure or weather problem.
