The very first thing I begin to consider if Waze or another app makes me aware of a major traffic delay is will the alternate route handle my rig?

If your RV is over 12' tall and/or you are towing something you should always attempt to stick to interstates and U.S. highways, unless you are doing some serious pre-planning. I'm not saying we have never taken an alternate route off the interstate to get around a long delay but it has involved pulling over and getting out the Trucker's Atlas to confirm the detour. I'm not about to exit the interstate and go by some GPS or smartphone app when driving my RV and trust it not to lead me right up to some 10'11" overpass.

These things seem to happen more and more. This is another reason we never let our fuel tank drop below 1/4 tank.
