What is the best route? Will I go over the big /high bridge? How is the bridge towing a tt?

If you follow US17 to James Island County Park, you WILL go up and over that high bridge.

I drove it 2 springs ago. Until that day, I had never had a panic attack, but I did driving up and over that bridge.

I have driven it northbound several times in my MH and it is like any other high bridge. It is a piece of cake compared to the Mighty Mackinac Bridge in Upper Michigan. Traveled over that bridge towing our TT's for years, even walked it on Labor Day twice when they shut down the northbound lane for the Annual Labor Day walk, quite an experience.

It will be a piece of cake, after you go there try the one to the OBX at Manteo.

With a little mental preparation and the usual precautions I do not think it will be a problem. Fun is travelling out of the Florida keys with an impending tropical storm with wind gusts to 40 mph across all of those bridges. Any high bridgae tends to have a cross wind which can push you around a little. Plan to cross at a less busy time and drive carefully.
