Came through Dallas in December and they are doing a ton of roadwork. There were a lot of very narrow, one lane roads. You can probably check on the Texas Department of Transportation for what areas they are working on now. We have decided we are going to be avoiding Dallas for awhile, even if that means going out of our way. It was horrific.

Patti and Ed - understand you want to avoid Dallas, we don't have that option. We willl most likely have a funeral to attend of a close family member in the next 2-4 weeks, we hope to arrive while she is still alive. So avoiding Dallas is just not an option, our original plan was to come down from OKC and only come as far as Lewisville with the rig, would have mitigated much of the construction issues. Our only saving grace is that Dale is from Dallas, I lived there a number of years and we know a few alternate routes around the construction, but whatever it is, we have no choice, we just have to deal with it. Did you come in from the West? If so, any suggestions on places to stay on the route into Dallas from Tucson?

SuzyQ - thanks for the Shady Creek suggestion, will look at that closely, we might have one other option that I'm calling about in the AM, otherwise, that might be the best option for the price.

A little north in Sangers is Wgaon Master RV park. Don't know if its too far but an idea.

When we came through we knew there was some construction, so we stayed the night before east of the metroplex (we were traveling from Georgia to Kansas), and made it through and stayed just North of the Metroplex that night. I will have to look back on my mapping program where we stopped that night. It was outside Dallas. We were not going to stop until we got through all the road construction. I am not sure it would be much help.

If you are able to time when you go through there it isn't to bad. Guessing you will be coming up I20 to I35W and going around to the north side. Most of the construction is on I35W on the northwest side of town. We been that way a couple of times a few months ago. Timing is the "key".

If you come down 287 from Wichita Falls, there are 2 or 3 rv park right off the highway. Two of them looks nice and the other one is questionable. Not sure of the name of any of them, just remember seeing them.

Thanks all, I think we found a place in Lewisville, we'll be arriving Sunday afternoon coming in from I-20 to I-35, looking at as many options as possible to avoid the I-35 construction. I think arriving on a Sunday will be easier than a weekday.

Love this forum and the help / support.

And one other thing I forgot to add, forgive me the exhaustion is still with me, THANK YOU DREAMERS!!! I really appreciate all the suggestions and support.

Our prayers are with you 2 - and Mom.
