Boise to Winnemucca - Hwy 55
Winnemucca to Sacramento - I 80
Sacramento to Fresno - 99 or I5
Given changing winter conditions during that time of year, that would be the simplest route and, other than Donner Summit (Reno to Sacramento), would be the least likely route to experience adverse winter conditions.
There are other, more scenic, routes, but that's about a 9-10 hour drive going that way. If Donner is snowed in, there are RV parks in the Reno area to wait out until the roads can get plowed. I80 is a major route, so they keep it clear.
