Phoenix to Seattle in January
Will tow 36 foot DRV fifth wheel thru Phoenix to Seattle via California this January. Any suggestions for routes would be greatly appreciated as well as considerations for passes we'll encounter. ...

Just wondering why you want to pull a 5th wheel into the northern climes during the dead of winter. Unless you "have" to be up here then, is it possible to make the trip a couple of months later? Moving into spring is a beautiful time in the Far West and hopefully weather conditions will be more stable.
I am an experienced winter mountain pass driver and have had to chain up a number of times over the years heading to college or visiting relatives east of the Cascades. Chaining up in the snow or in the slush/sleet of lower elevetations while heading into a mt pass is a real chore which would be multiplied several times if needing to chain up a 5th wheel well. If you're young and haven't experienced this it might be a new adventure for you. If you're my age I can pretty much guarantee you will not enjoy it.
