In my opinion, it would be way too aggressive for 6 days especially with small children. Google maps says it's 36 hours driving time at the posted speed limit which you won't be able to do in an RV. You also have to factor in rest stops for the driver and fuel stops, possible road construction and traffic or accident delays. You would be driving or sleeping most of the time and won't really be able to enjoy the trip. Driving an RV is more stressful than driving a car. You will also need another stop between San Antonio and the Grand Canyon because it's 16 hours of driving. Also if this trip is in the summer the temperatures will be very hot out west. I think you're right about renting an RV and taking a trip closer to home before you head out west. If you had more time (10 days to 2 weeks) it might be doable.
