Any suggestions or recommendations from anyone that has driven this route in late December to early January? Typical road conditions, weather, places to stay with travel trailer. etc. Thanks

As for places to stay in the Mesa Verde area, Sunset RV Park and LaMesa RV park, both in Cortez, are open all year. H E R E - Cortez CO is the RVparksreview.com page for Cortez, these 2 are the first ones that come up. There is also one in Durango H E R E - Durango , but it's not as highly rated, and is further from Mesa Verde. North of Durango,
there's T H I S - Westerly RV Park which is higher rated, but also further from Mesa Verde.

For your timeframe, there's going to be limited choices in the Mesa Verde area.

As to weather, SW Colorado can get very heavy snow in December, one of our snowiest months. It can also be one of the coldest months, even for it's southerly location. That said, it can also be pleasant, if the timing is right. Will really depend on the immediate forecast for when you're going to be travelling, on specific dates.
