So I’m a little fuzzy on your plans. You’re going to drive to one of the stops, do some sighting seeing, and eventually stop for the night where? At a campground? Big box store parking lot? Other? Do you plan on having electricity when you stop? Plug into an outlet? Generator? Other? Planning on having water for showers? etc? Need a dump station to empty tanks?
Are you going to need heat. Air conditioning? A microwave? Are you cooking meals or eating out? Do you know how big a RV stove is? Does it have an oven?
How many suitcases you planning on taking per person? Is there enough storage?
Five in a Class C is going to be pretty cozy, but doable for a week. You’ll have about 1 to 1-1/2 days at each stop for sightseeing, eating, showering, etc. Is that enough time for you?
Offhand, I think the learning curve on Rving in a class C has the potential to bite you in the butt big time. You don’t know what you don’t know. You may need to get some experienced person that knows about travel in a Class C to sit down with you for a few hours and put a real plan together. There are some really big potential pot holes in your road.
Flagstaff might be very cold at night in early March to the point of freezing the pipes being a concern. I would not take my class C to such elevation in early March due to frozen plumbing potential and it being too cold in general. In general, I would not go anywhere with good chance of freeze in my class C, its not pleasant to depend on heating so much. I live in my class C boondocking full time. Early March is in 3 weeks and there is no way I would travel out of Southern Arizona at this time of the year in my RV, not worth it
