Going west that time of year is risky and will be COLD in Utah and Colorado. The Grand Canyon Plateau is 6800 ft. elevation. Veil Colorado is at 10,000 ft. elevation. South is where you want to go to be comfortable and not go through 20 tanks of propane. Anything like Savannah, Charleston, the Georgia coast or the Gulf coast and yes even the Smoky Mountains and Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/ Sevierville are decent weather in November. The mountains are beautiful in their fall glory.
I know you really don't want to just drive all the time so research the south and don't try to be so ambitious. It's your honey moon remember. Stop and enjoy an area for more than 2-3 days. Do the Kentucky Bourbon Trail on the way down. Stop in Lynchburg TN to see the Jack Daniels Distillery, a fantastic tour. Nashville is a great place for the honky tonks and live music and good food. I love going out west myself too but it's a warm weather trip really. Think things over aas to what you want to put up with. Cold weather is a challenge to camp in.
