I have always felt the trip is just part of the fun and vacation. It is possible to drive to the Grand Canyon in one shift, but not for me. You could just take I-40 stopping around Needles then on to the Canyon. My choice, which we have followed many times, is the first night in Las Vegas, then down highway 93 to the 40 and basecamp in Williams Arizona. One advantage is with a brand new rig you will be overnighting in Las Vegas, a city with many RV service businesses. Hopefully your new rig will be problem free and ready for the road, but things happen. On our maiden trip the hot water would not come on, it turned out the water-heater was unplugged. But it is better to diagnose in a city rather than a small town. Then basecamp in Williams. We really like the Circle of Pines KOA in Williams. Indoor heated pool, large sites, quiet, family friendly, perfect. Do not miss Bearazona drive through animal park in Williams. Fun for adults and children alike. If you have little ones the Deer Park petting zoo is also a worthwhile trip. If you have a moment on the way, take the turnoff to Seligman, just to drive through the rather historic antique town (very small short town) and just of the I-40 with easy re-entry.
Have fun, and Happy Trails.
