We are from Longview, TX. This will be our second time to go to FW this summer. We are breaking up the drive leaving the 19th and arriving the 21st. We travel I-20 to Meridian, MS (one night at a KOA) then we travel on 80 until Montgomery, AL then 82/231 southeast toward Dothan. From Dothan we stay on 231 until we get to I-10 in FL. We travel I-10 east until we get to 75 south (staying in Lake City even though it's only 3 + or - hours away mainly to stock up on groceries etc.) We took this route before but only broke it into one overnight stay We made it to Ozark, AL about 10.5 hours. That was six years ago with a smaller fifth wheel. We were exhausted when we got there. Now we have a 37ft fifth wheel plus we are taking a guest with us so we decided not to push it. We are staying a week at FW then taking out time getting back home. Staying in Destin, FL three nights. May not want to now because of the oil spill. My husband says if you stay on I-20 and you don't go during rush hour that would be the best way to go around Dallas/Ft Worth. Then the next major city is Shreveport. It's a little tight on some of the spots there but not too bad. I know of some that go to Houston and take I-10 all the way to FL. You have to go through the "ship" channel tunnel in Mobile. To us, that way is out of the way and we are much closer to Houston than you are. I hope you find this helpful!
