I used Google Maps to get this information:
You didn't give a starting city so I chose Oakland, CA. You also didn't give the route you wanted to take but this is the shortest. It's approx. 1100 miles total and doing it with only one night stay is much too long in a RV.
Oakland to Barstow, CA via I-5 south to I-40 east = 402 miles
Barstow to Flagstaff, AZ via I-40 = 360 miles
Flagstaff, AZ to Albuquerque via I-40 = 325 miles
From your other posts it appears you have 4 small children. I wouldn't plan any more hours in a vehicle than the above two stops. The route is very boring. It's always good to get into a campground by late afternoon so you all have time to wind down - go for a walk - go to the pool (highly recommended for the kids to work off energy and a good night's sleep for everyone).
Flagstaff temperatures in summer will be very pleasant. The other places will be very hot in summer.
Have a good trip.
Thanks, this is great input!
