DeLorme Street Atlas has one to take US 183 N all the way to I-20 near Cisco. I-20 W to US 84 (W of Sweetwater) to Lubbock & on to New Mexico to I-40 at Santa Rosa. I-40 W to US 285 N at Cline's Corner to I-25 S to Santa Fe. 740 miles, 15.5 hours...
Along this route, Sumner Lake State Park and Santa Rosa Lake State Park have nice campgrounds with some electric sites. For your size rig, you might consider Hyde Memorial State Park North of Santa Fe on the road to the Ski Basin. Beautiful area with hiking trails and great views.
Some attractions in the general Santa Fe area you might want to checkout: Fort Union National Monument, Pecos National Historic Site, Bandelier National Monument, Tent Rocks National Monument, Turquoise Trail, Chaco Cultural Historical Park.
