Brattleboro, VT to Cooperstown, NY

I'll be driving this route in about a week. Looks like a fairly straight shot west. But is Hwy 9 across VT okay for a motorhome with toad? Looks pretty squiggly on Google maps.

May encounter lil more in way of steepness just east of Bennington. Just take it easy and you'll be ok. Once in NY or just around there, it becomes Rt7 and as you get closer Troy, it's all downhill w/ stop lights. Cross the Hudson and uphill till 87. If you have time and on a roadtrip w/ the toad, hit up Brooks BBQ in Oneonta. Also, was a bakery in Cooperstown on or near a corner that made some darn good coconut macaroons. Not cheap, but darn good.

In my opinion it is OK. It's not an interstate, and it has some noticeable hills and curves and such, but it's nothing I would generally avoid with a motorhome. There are not many if any flat and straight east-west roads in Vermont.
