Maybe I'm too cautious, but an RV in Denver and the mountains west of Denver in January is something I'd only do if I had a flexible schedule. The mountains will have snow, period. Whether a storm causes difficult driving on your travel days would be impossible to predict until you were here - it is something that you'd have to be able to work around and reschedule drive days. Same for down in Denver, but less likely to have winter driving conditions down here in January. Then you have to take into account winterizing or partial-winterizing so nothing freezes. I've been caught driving in crazy winter weather in October and late-May in the mountains around here and it is simply not fun in an RV. If you were going to do it, though, I-25 south to NM would be my recommendation for getting in/out of Denver since it's not "in" the mountains and usually has milder weather.
Thanks. Very good input. We have a very flexible schedule and dont need to be in San Francisco before 2/24. So some 40-45 days to get there :)
But it is also as i thought and would then also roll out of Denver on I-25. Im a very experienced winter driver but not with an RV so thats why im also very cautious. We still want to get there in one piece.
