Michigan to Arizona route advice

Hi Everyone!

Looking for some advice from some seasoned travelers regarding routes.
My wife and I are on our first trip out west from Michigan in a 30ft Holiday Rambler with car in tow. We have made it past Oklahoma City on the Interstates (currently I40) and I am almost ready to tap out.
The Interstate has been dreadful to say the least. With the 18 wheelers the 30-40mph winds, and my rig barely being able to keep minimum speed, this trip cross country is becoming a nightmare.

Do any of you have any suggestions for a more "relaxing" route that we can both start to enjoy the country as we make our way out West? Or is it a matter of sucking it up and limping out there on the interstate?

I have owned the RV for 4 years and have made numerous smaller trips, but travelling the interstate cross country is a completely different story.

Just looking for some insight/help on alternate routes.

Thanks for any help, its appreciated!

P.S. the search feature on these forums isn't too stellar, but I did try searching for my answer that way.

Where in AZ are you planning to end up? Do you have to be at your destination at any particular time or day?

I would catch west US62 south of OKC, then 86 to US 60 into AZ. But that's the way I travel, non interstate.
