You need to look up elevations of some Southwestern areas and keep yourselves no higher than 3500'.
For Arizona/Utah don't plan to winter any higher by looking on a map - than the Phoenix area. You said you're not ready for Quartzsite. Give it a try you might like it for a short time. There are plenty of nearby places to move near Quartzsite. Yuma is the warmest in the state and along the Colorado River up to Havasu City is fairly nice.

You can plan to hit the Utah area on your way home in spring although even March and April will still be cold. Good luck finding your place!
