SE Utah in March?
Newbie here. We are planning a vacation to Utah for the 3rd week of March. While I go backpacking and kayak camping every year around that time in Moab, for the rest of my family, it will be there 1...

Ravialdo,
It sounds like you know the area so I guess you'll just have to wait and see how your family does. Maybe let them look thorough the book I suggested and pick places that they would like to see (lots of great pictures in the book). That way, they own the decision. Hopefully, you will be pleasantly surprised.
I assume you know this, but unless you have hookups, camping in a RV isn't like staying in a hotel as you need to use resources somewhat sparingly. We are seldom in developed campgrounds, so showers tend to be navy type (get wet & turn off water, soap up, turn on water & rinse off) every other day. With our solar, battery bank, and low power draw lights (LED), we have pretty much unlimited power (especially in that country). But I doubt a rental would have the this well developed system. Waste water management also takes some thought. I suggest you check out SaniDumps to locate possible dump stations along your route. Actually, RVing is a lot like backpacking in many aspects except that the resources aren't quite so limited:)
BTW, the outfitter in Escalante is Utah Canyons Outdoor Store. I believe they have jeep trips into the canyons which would relieve you from having to battle your way down those roads with a RV. Not really our style (we take our 4x4 truck), but for your circumstances, it might work out really well.
Good luck and Have Fun,
Steve
