Toronto to Arizona

The shortest route is Toronto to I-69/I-94 in Michigan; I-44 Missouri; I-40 Oklahoma, NM, Arizona; I-17 Arizona to SR74 west to US60 to Alamo = 2380 miles

You have a risk of very bad weather conditions, especially on I-40.

Another route would be taking I-44 to Oklahoma City; I-35 to Dallas; I-20 to I-10 and picking up US60 at Phoenix to Alamo = 2650 miles

That's a difference of 270 miles but driving I-20/I-10 in winter would be better than I-40, in my opinion.

Have a safe trip!

This might not be the best weekend to travel. really keep an eye on the weather.

Having done that trip a few times, my advice is to head south to the I20. Nashville, Memphis, Dallas. Or even to Birmingham before heading west.

Having made this trip several times. I would head south on I-75 to Cincinnati, OH. Then I-71 toward Louisville, KY. I-65 to Nashville, TN. The I-65 to Birmingham, AL. Then head West on I-20 to I-10.
I have a APP on my I phone called Trip Weather. Put your trip into it with you leaving Sunday. Most of the trip especially in OHIO is RED. Meaning bad weather conditions for driving. When leaving the Detroit area I always monitor weather to determine when to travel what route to take.
You should be able to dewinterize by the time you get to Nashville.

We are expecting bad weather in the Western PA, Ohio areas Sunday late afternoon into Monday with several inches of snow expected. Check your trip weather carefully before heading out. Best wishes for a safe and fun trip.

At Lordsburg, NM take 70 to Globe, Az (60).

Phoenix area. Take 60 to 202 N loop to 101 N loop to I-17 to 74 West to 93

That's the route we take, we try to go south to get out of the cold weather then we go west through Texas to NM and then Arizona.

We generally de-winterize in Bowling Green Kentucky but that may be a bit early for you depending on the weather and if daytime temps are above freezing there.I look at the local weather forecast and if daytime temps are at or above freezing with overnights just a bit below freezing then I flush the A/F out and start using the water system with the fresh water tank used overnight to avoid freezing the water hose.

Thanks guys, generally everyone seems to want to stay away from I40 due to weather. I would have liked to have gone to Pensacola - Houston then across but that would add another 8 - 10 hrs. and due to time constraints we only have 2 & 1/2 to 3wks

Wow...almost 5K miles RT in maybe 20 days...are you gonna have any time to enjoy the State Park area ?

Good Luck

That's how long it takes us to go down and come back.
We like to go easy and enjoy the trip.
