What kind of tires will you be using?
Check the National Weather Service before starting your trip and then daily while on your trip. The weather conditions will dictate which routes are advisable. The southern route has a higher probability of better route conditions and not having to stop and lay over if snow conditions require it. I would also add to your "emergency" list a "Emergency Roadside Assistance plan" in the event you break down or have to be towed or pulled out of snow conditions. Personally, the winter months would not be my first choice to head east. Unless there is an absolute reason you need your vehicle or RV vehicle, I would fly and rent a car. IMHO
