You're right off I-394 with quick access to I-494 and Highway 100, and these corridors are wide, well-maintained, and easy to navigate even in a 30-foot motorhome. Avoid downtown Minneapolis side streets and the older Uptown neighborhoods where parking is tight and a few historic underpasses have low clearances (the Kenilworth Trail tunnel area is one to skip). Summer construction is the main thing to watch, MnDOT typically has projects active May through October. Winter brings snow and ice, so most RV trips run May to October. Pro tip: use the MnDOT 511 app for real-time road conditions, it's the same tool locals rely on for trip planning.
