Why not go through CA, AZ, NM, etc.? All the snow birds seem to go to AZ, TX, etc., so the weather is likely to be better than I80 or I90. Yes it is more miles, but with better weather, you may be able to make better time so it comes out a wash. If I were making this drive, I would consider this route.
This is honestly what we were thinking. We have plenty of time to come across, hubby is taking a month of leave. We need to leave enough time to find a place to live, but we defiantly have some leeway on our time to come across. I would rather have a nice calm trip that we can stop and see some sites, then be anxious and worried about the weather the whole time. We have 3 small children and 2 German shepherds so will need to make plenty of stops and don't want our entire day eaten up with driving. We want this to be a trip we will remember as a vacation type of thing. We will be saving money using the TT, instead of hotels. Also being able to eat home cooked meals instead of all eating out will save some too, so we have some extra money to play with the gas. Any more advice on that kind of drive? Thanks again.
If you have the time, then I agree that farther south is the ticket. It may add 3 or 4 days to the trip, but you can relax on clear roads and probably not worry about being hit by a blizzard while en route. If bad weather should hit while on the road, you have the option of waiting it out, and the farther south you go, the shorter any such wait will be. Make the trip into an RVing adventure instead of a nightmarish white knuckle speed trip. Lots of open campgrounds on the southern route, not so much up north.
