We tend to run out to western Colorado each summer from south Florida. Most of the time we take Hwy 19 up to Tallahassee where we spend the first night, then west on Interstate 10 to Baton Rouge to spend the second night, then cut NW on I 49 to Shreveport and go west on I 20. I don't find Dallas to be a problem as I20 tends to stay south of the main part of town, then at Ft Worth we head up hwy 287 to Wichita Falls and on to Amarillo where we spend the 3rd night (at the RV Ranch) Some trips we go west on I 40 up to Grand Canyon, we like the North Rim, then north into Utah and cut back east to the west slope of Colorado.
Other trips we go north out of Amarillo to Dalhart and over to Raton, NM. Then north on I 25 to Colorado Springs and then west. Not really a bad route out that way. Louisiana has made big improvements in their roads in the last fer years. Not up to Texas quality roads but a big improvement over ten years ago, IMHO.
Battle Ship park in Mobile is worth a few hours to visit. Last summer we took our truck camper towing our Jeep Wrangler to run the Jeep trails in Colorado. The previous summer we took our 5th wheel over the same general route.
