As others have also stated...we would not! Doing so would spoil the trip. The longest day driving we've ever pushed was 10 hours with both sharing driving duties.

There is a lot to see between your area and the west coast!
I would not consider it safe, especially if driving the rig is new to both drivers. A Class C isn't much larger than a big dualy with a long bed but...it is different, more weight, more affected by wind, etc. It will handle differently! Extra attention to details will be more tiring.
If you only have a week to take, going from coast to coast and back it's just not too doable that far (my opinion). I would hold that trip for sometime when you can take a month off and go somewhere much closer this trip.
You really won't know what you can handle until you try it.
