Hi all, happy thanksgiving!
We will be coming to the fort for our first visit October 2017, we are so excited! Traveling with our 18 ft jayco swift bh154.
ive driven before but never with the camper to Florida. 
I have been reading a lot about which way to go and the George Washington bridge is already making me nervous but is the shortest way.  But if I do attempt it I heard it's awfully bumpy and traffic is so bad. In NJ I read there is a tunnel that trailers are not allowed. (I could have read it wrong)
Tappen Zee bridge is longer drive but is it any better and worth it?
3rd thought is up to Albany Ny and miss the bridges all together. 
Were planning on leaving on a Thursday morning and getting to Abingdon MD(late afternoon) just to stop, relax and miss the Washington traffic. Then leave a few hours later and hopefully getting to Emporia VA - Walmart for some late night sleep
leave Friday am and get to St Mary Walmart to stay the night, Saturday AM head to the fort!
does anyone have experience with any of these stops, bridges and routes?
thanks!!!!!
