reno to daytona

We're on a return leg from the northwest, and after we crossed from Sacramento to Reno on i-80, my wife said no more mountains. I was thinking of taking rt 95 south to pick up i-40 at kingman, az. 38 ft 5th wheel. Any opinions or suggestions?

Thanks,
Andy
  • Thanks everyone for the replies. We ended up taking 95 south to 93 and picking up I40 at Kingman. Easy Peasy, and we're in Amarillo now. No problem. The wife has come out from under the dash.
  • I-10 is the flattest route but you to like the heat.

    Good Luck - those Rocks have been there a long time - Airplane or Sleeping Pill is the only way around them.:S

    Best of Luck,
  • On I-40 you will have a pretty good climb just west of Williams and the construction caused the road to go down to one lane for a few miles. We did it yesterday and had no trouble but just wanted you to be aware. Flagstaff is at about 7,000 feet and Kingman is at a little over 3,000 feet!

    If you go on down to I-10 on US 95, it will lower the elevation changes and also increase the heat as well as sending you through Phoenix and El Paso. When you are going across country you just have to pick your poison! :B
