Heading out west with our 36 footer
I have a tentative game plan I need some logistical advice. Planning a 2..2 and a half month (generally unrushed) trip through Northern NM, AZ, southern Utah, Nevada hopefully Oregan then Cali coast.....

Flagstaff, AZ may be an issue, as snow may be more in play than not. Anything north of the I 40 corridor will have higher chances of snow and ice. I worked out of an RV in that area for over 8 years from Amarillo to Flagstaff, AZ. There were days you just put the back of the RV to the wind and hang on!
OP, you mentioned I20??? If you are headed NW off of I20 at Sweetwater TX on 84, be aware that Far West and Panhandle of Texas can and will get snow after that Nov 1 date. Especially that area west of Lubbock, TX, if going that route. I have been caught from Lubbock NW into New Mexico in some pretty serious snow storms in November and December.
You will hear all the bad things, as I mentioned above, but you will have more good than bad and it is gorgeous in the winter. I would do it in a heartbeat, and have done it many times, just be prepared for cold. Biggest thing, do not get in a hurry, if bad weather is coming, hunker down and listen to the truckers, they stay on top of the weather.
Enjoy your trip, it will be one to remember.
