Florida experts - driving to Topsail

We'll be driving to Topsail SP in a couple weeks from the west.
Pulling a 36ft 5th wheel with a dually.
Google Maps says to exit I-10 on hwy 85 toward Niceville, then 293 down to 98 and left over to Topsail. Seems like that sends us through a (usually?) congested area.
Would it be better to stay on 10 to hwy 331, down to 98, then right to Topsail? Or is that just as congested?
Thanks for any suggestions!!

RE: I-75 at Chattanooga

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I could use some help from the Chatt locals please.
We will be going to Cloudland SP in early June, coming from Boone, NC area.
We're pulling a 36ft 5th wheel with a dually.
Google maps says to take IHs 75 to 24 to 59 and exit to hwy 136. It looks like that takes you over a pretty good pass.
Is this advisable with camper?
Anyone have a better route?
Thanks so much!!

RE: Thru Amarillo - south to north

You are going to stop at The Big Texan for dinner aren't you?
No...been there, done that. IMHO, it's way overrated and overpriced. But a neat stop for someone to experience.
Thanks,

RE: Thru Amarillo - south to north

When we travel "north" we are usually going up through Dalhart. If that is the case for you I recommend traveling west on IH-40 and then take highway 385 north.
It's been many years since we actually drove through Amarillo
We're coming from the south of Amarillo on IH27
385 goes to Dalhart, but we're going to Dumas. Up hwy 287/87.
I was trying to find out if it's better to go around the loop or thru town.
Thanks,
Mark

Thru Amarillo - south to north

Will be going through Amarillo next week, from Lubbock going north. Looking for advice regarding traffic, construction, etc. Is it best to go around on 335, or just go thru town? If thru town is best, should I use Fillmore (87) or Buchanan (287)? I know they join together just north of downtown heading north, but is one better than the other to get thru downtown?
Thanks for your help.
