....is this a better option coming off the M5 and going A38 through Plymouth to Pentewan, Cornwall or do i go the M5 then A30 which seems to be the busiest road and has roadworks. It will be our first long trip with our van and starting to get a little bit nervous towing all that way from Yorkshire.

The A38 has roadworks aswell

We go to Cornwall at least 3 times a year always use the A30. Usually travel at night.

 I would use the M5 then A30, most of the bad hold ups seem to be after where the A38 rejoins the A30, also the Tamar Bridge can be a bloody nightmare. To be honest, you just have to accept that you will hit some traffic at some point en-route to Cornwall.

You could always do a Wednesday to Wednesday at Pentewan, lots less traffic until you get off the A30 going into St Austell but you could always get around that by timeing your arrival for 0900 plus you wouldn't have too long a wait for your pitch.
