Worst Toll Way in the Country for an RV
August 26, 2008
In our 2005-2006 Tour and Survey of the Worst Roads to Drive on in the United States of America, we made a special section this year for Toll Ways only. Why you ask? Well because many of the complaints that RV’ers have came from roads that they actually had to pay to drive on, which if you think about it is rather appalling indeed.
Why should you have to pay to have your travel trailer, motor home coach or Recreational vehicle destroyed by roads that are in a state of disrepair? Worse off we noted the worst toll way to drive on for an RV was the New York State Toll Way from Virginia to CT. In fact we counted 39 dangerous bumps, 234 serious bumps and over 490 large bumps while driving the right two lanes most of the trip.
Our cost to have our pots and pans and everything that is stored in the RV jarred, we placed at $28.00 in damage. While the cost of repairs to the RV was estimated at $550 including need for an alignment; of course we have no way of knowing all the damage to components, such as the refrigerator and other appliances or the suspension, tires and body parts. Nevertheless we rate the NY Toll Way on I-95 as the worst toll way in the United States for RVs. Thanks for nothing.
