Truck: Ram 3500 SRW Diesel
Rig: 37 ft fifth wheel (Grand Design Reflection 337rls)
This is will be our 5th RV voyage and our first time in the mountains with an RV. I'm nervously planning our route (using Good Sam Trip Planner) and would like your opinion on if I'm planning a safe route. We're traveling about 4 hrs per day and planning extended stops Sante Fe and Taos on the outbound journey. We travel with 2 dogs, so we take our time. I'm not necessarily looking for the fastest route. I'm more interested in safe, scenic, low traffic areas. Thanks so much for your input.
