Westbound to Utah
This December I'm taking the month off to explore the south/west, Utah, Arizona, maybe Nevada, some NM... Anyhows, I'm not opposed to making some long days to get from Northern Michigan across the ...

In December I'd recommend heading due south to I-10 for visiting southern NM and AZ. Even southern NM will be cold that time of year. AZ is your best bet for nice winter weather. Southern Utah will be cold, too.
I-40 can be treacherous during snow. The interstate was closed for us the end of April because of a blizzard.
Any chance of leaving in March or April rather than December? You'd be able to see more and more comfortably.
I'll be coming back through the south, I-40 to Memphis and then to Nashville to visit family for New Years.
My last vacation was May 2014 and I'm burnt out at work. December is a slow month, so the timing is right for me :)
I've towed my camper through two blizzards now and a blinding thunderstorm along a flooded expressway, if it gets too bad I'm in no hurry and will just take an exit and camp in a parking lot till things improve... I don't mind cold or snow (rather enjoy it actually). I know I'll miss out on the Grand Canyon's North Rim... can't win them all.
