Looked at ViaMichelin a while ago (before recent changes) and was pretty unimpressed, it generated routes that were NOT caravan friendly, although doable, far better routes available (and mostly the way other route planners picked!). These were routes/destinations I already knew well (only testing the worth of Michelin for potential future use!) , so knew with certainty that the Michelin route was pretty rubbish! - fine with a solo car, but NOT best suited to a caravan!
I use Plan.TomTom online route planner (https://plan.tomtom.com/en?p=51.5074,-0.1196,6z). It allows you to enter Caravan/MH dimensions, max speed, and a host of journey options such as avoiding tolls etc. to give you usually a choice of routes. You can also transfer the route to your own TomTom Sat Nav unit if you have an account.
Never picked a duff route for me yet! For sure, some of the route planners pick some bizarre routes, which don't fill me with confidence they are good caravan routes either!
Thankfully, I know my way around much of the country pretty well, so have an inkling of what might be a good or bad route anyway, so route planning is just 'finessing' and confirmation in many cases.
