Route 78 from Salton Sea across to Julian winds through a narrow canyon and then climbs a pretty steep grade up into the mountain town of Julian. Hundreds if not thousands of local RVers go through there every year so it is absolutely an ok route. Just want to give you a heads up of what to expect.
If you don't mind the canyon drive but want to miss the steep grade up into Julian you could take county road S2 to the right at an area called Scissors Crossing. That will put you on route 79 just south of Warner Springs for a right turn up to Temecula.
79 up towards Temecula has a few narrow spots and winds back and forth in places but is entirely ok as a route. It's a major route through the area.
I'll put on my thinking and add some more thoughts for you in another posting.
