Why not 93 say around 3:00 pm? I'd probably do 495 rather than 128 considering it's your first time driving the rig. It's longer, but usually less stressful.

I'am sure you have been in tougher situations than this, sit back an relax put on AC, radio take your time an enjoy the ride, take 495 to 140 stayout of Boston. Good luck with your wife's new toy. "007"

Welcome Mark, Congratulations on your new MOHO.
Just take it slow and easy watch the turns, keep the front between the lines and the back will follow. Use the convex mirrors more than the flat ones. Sit back, relax and have fun...Good Miles

Words of wisdom:
Double the space between the car ahead of you.
Go slower than you think is okay.
Change lanes very slowly, there is a car in your blind spot.
Swing wide on turns.... curbs are easy to clip.
Loosen the grip on the wheel a bit.
Stop after the first 20 miles and take a deep breath.
Keep your lights on.
Secure all doors, and blinds inside before leaving.
Turn on your rear camera if you have one.
Remember this is a RECREATION Vehicle. You are going to learn to love this thing.

Walt

If you turn on the rear camera, turn its sound down or it can spook ya.
