It appears you have a small RV. Why are you looking for flattest? You're traveling in beautiful areas and hills are a part of it. Don't avoid major secondary highways. That's where you'll find the beauty. Forget about I-5 in California!
Here's my thinking. I'm leaving Monday and would like to arrive Wednesday. That means Tuesday will be a long travel day (prob 6AM-noon and 3-9PM). I can do that- I get in a groove and just 'iron butt' it. But it's a lot easier to do if I can basically put on the cruise and go. Concentrating on up and down grades and slowing or stopping through small towns tires me out.
I've done cross country on I-40 and I-10 that way a few times. It just works better for me to put my head down and not worry about the scenery. That's why I'm leaning towards I-5.
