Car/caravan is same class2 toll rate as motorhome over 2mtres high. In France you mostly can't get anywhere cheap & quick, its one or t'other. Starting from Calais you could go off towards Caen before Rouen & go Rennes & Nantes which includes plenty of non toll dual carriageway but it is about 60miles further than the all toll route from Rouen down A28/A11 past Le Mans & Angers. Both these routes are doable in a day.
Alternatively take 2 days & follow same route to Rouen/Le Mans/Angers but use the old N roads(mostly now reclassified as D rds)that follow the route of the toll autoroutes & if you get bored you can get onto autoroute at next junction. The autoroute sections between Calais & Boulogne & Abbeville & Rouen are toll free. There is a good choice of campsites for an overnight stop halfway.
