I-93 serves as Manchester's main north-south corridor, with exits 1 through 7 providing access to different parts of the city. Exit 6 (Hooksett Road) and Exit 5 (Granite Street) are your best bets for motorhome-friendly routes that avoid downtown congestion. I-293 creates a bypass loop on the west side -- useful if you're trying to avoid the central business district.
Route 101 runs east-west and connects Manchester to the seacoast region and points west. This highway handles motorhome traffic well, though watch for construction zones during summer months. The Everett Turnpike (Route 3) parallels I-93 and offers an alternative route, particularly if you're coming from the Massachusetts border.
Overnight parking options are limited in the immediate Manchester area. The closest rest area is about 15 miles north on I-93, and local Walmart policies vary by location. Most RVers either push through to campgrounds in the Lakes Region or backtrack to truck stops along major highways. Winter driving requires extra caution -- New Hampshire gets real snow, and city plowing prioritizes main roads first.
