Wow, that's definitely the long way.
From many years personal experience, suggest I-40 to Amarillo. I-27/US-87 to south of Lubbock, where the interstate portion ends, but US-87 is still multi-lane. Take US-87 to Fredericksburg, turn left onto US-290. Drive to Johnson City and turn right onto US-281, then straight ahead to Spring Branch.
You could also turn onto US-84 in Lubbock and take it to I-10, then east to Abilene, then south on US-84 to Coleman, continue south on US-283 to Brady, then US-87 to Fredericksburg, etc.
I prefer the former route, as it has more multi-lanes than US-84. Both are fairly scenic (after about 200 miles of high prairie) and both have a fair number of RV parks. I do highly recommend the San Angelo KOA.
Enjoy your trip.
