Fellow RVers...
I've posted a few times in regards to our route from Seattle to Florida. We are headed out two weeks from tomorrow. Based on my reviews of the roads & conditions through Oregon/Idaho/Utah, I'm planning to take less riskier route down I-5. We are planning to stop for two nights in Williams in order take the family on a train ride through the Grand Canyon. Before my question, a few things to know about my situation:
We are a family of 6 with 4 kids ranging from 11 - 9 months. We also have two dogs that will be traveling with us. We are not towing a vehicle, and we have a 34' gas pusher (FR3 32DS). This is the first motor home we have ever owned and have owned it for just under a year. We are very much newbies, but I feel like I have at least had a great opportunity to learn how to drive one of these living in the Pacific Northwest with the rain and mountains. I've learned to take it slow and not be in a big rush.
With that being said, I'm trying to figure out the best route to take from Seattle to Williams Arizona. We plan to leave late Wednesday and drive a few hours or leave out early Thursday morning. We plan to make it to Williams by Saturday evening. My questions
1. What is the best path to avoid the crazy traffic of California? I'd prefer to stay on main interstates and avoid any type of mountain passes (snow) where possible.
2. Any recommendations on places to stay within close proximity to the path for Thursday and Friday night? (We normally stay at KOAs due to being pet and kid friendly)
Once again, appreciate all of the input and suggestions for my family that is new to motorhome adventures!
