The route seems OK, however the time frame seems way too aggressive. The first leg will be at least 7.5 hours with no stops. More like 8.5 or 9 hours with stops and traffic. We usually only drive about 4-5 hours per day and we don't have children with us. Indio to Tucson is 5.5 hours with no stops. El Paso to Austin will be a 10 or 12 hour trip with stops. We also don't like to get to the next stop after dark. Campground offices are closed and very difficult to park a rig in the dark. With children I'd also make reservations at the campgrounds. Also if the children are going to play, I would stop overnight at that place, not get back in the vehicle to go to another stop for the night. (except maybe White Sands to El Paso which is a short drive). Once you nail down the stops we can help with campgrounds. Have a safe trip!
