planning a trip north this Spring. Thinking about going north on I-95 to outside Washington, then I-495 around DC to, I-270, US15, I-81, I-78 I-287, I-87, I-684, I-84 to Danbury.

Thoughts? Or do I take I-270 to I-70 to I-81? OR do I take I-495 around DC and continue on I-95 north?
US15 is a question. Never been on that US15, at least not that I remember.
 
@Joe Hogan id like to hear what you find in RV parks there in CT that can fit big coaches.
 
US 15 is fine. You will just have to stop for a few traffic lights
 
I haven’t gone north to CT recently however we came south late last summer. I hate the traffic around I495 going thru DC area and avoid.

My preferred route would be to use I81 north to I84 east to Danbury. Usually I cut over from I95 via I26, I77 and other than Charlotte traffic works out good and avoids tolls except crossing Hudson River on I84.

We were there a couple of years ago. Just south a bit from Hartford is the town of Portland. We stayed at Portland Riverside Marina. We used it just as an overnighter but It is Big Rig Friendly. You do have to share the place with some pretty big boats though. It was quiet and easy to get to for us.
