As a winter texan, I think the new roads are a good idea. Texas is well known to travelers as a highway friendly state. Don't know about tolls but with 5 axels I will get hit harder than cars, but I also doubt the roadway will be open very soon, who knows where I will be by then. But I would avoid LA and stay on good highways.
BTW, Texans are still free of an income tax, and toll fees if used on roads and not poured into the general fund are a form of taxation that at least makes sense.

Correct... most of this is in early planning stages with lots of steps to complete before the first yard of concrete can be poured. My guess is that some of the roads will be built and others not. I think the overall project is pie in the sky wishing but some will come to fruition. Increased congestion over time on the roadways has to be addressed and this is a step in doing that.
I'm sure you have an interesting life style living out of a travel unit full time. I couldn't do that. I have a neighbor who's father retired, sold his home and lives full time in a travel unit moving were the urge takes him and his wife. I've also known some people that go south into Mexico around Guadalajara for about six months at a time... Cost of living is very low or so they claim.
