Fall/Winter destinations in SouthWest
So, we may be the oddballs in that we prefer to travel when the weather is mild or cool and not when it's hot. It's just not pleasant when it's so hot that you have to sit in the RV with the A/C goin...

I'm not particularly concerned about the cold, we travel to northern AZ during the holidays anyway and the coach seems to be pretty well insulated, plus there are 4 heat sources (2 furnaces, two heat strips on the A/C units). Last year we took the kids on the "Polar Express" out of Williams and are thinking about staying at the Grand Canyon Railway RV park and taking a train ride to the canyon, or maybe just driving the wife's car up there. We shall see. :)
Sedona is a bit more pleasant during that time of year. Part of the time would be spent visiting family in Prescott/Paulden, so if the weather isn't looking all that great then it's not like the trip is ruined.
Before the RV we had a TT that we took to Carson City to spend some time in the snow, we took 2 weeks to travel from SoCal up to Redmond, WA for Christmas (That was fun, hit a snowstorm on the way back just outside of Portland. Hooray for 4WD while towing a 31' trailer), so we're no strangers to the cold and traveling in it. :D
I have no desire to chain up the RV, so as long as the roads are clear then away we go.
It's looking like we'll be heading to Yosemite for Thanksgiving, too. I hear the Thanksgiving dinner at the lodge is awesome.
So, that's our preliminary plan right now. Yosemite for Thanksgiving, then Williams/Grand Canyon/Sedona/Prescott for Christmas.
