bogeyF250- I would recommend at least 1 LONG day for Arches and another for Canyonlands. With the addition of Dead Horse point, you could tack another half day in Canyonlands once you were done at the state park.
The drive along Hwy 128 is a couple of hours. We did that after going around the LaSalle Mountain loop, it's a very scenic drive around the "backside" of Moab. Very nice drive.
You can also head south from Moab to the 4 Corners area and Monument Valley.
We stayed 5 days and could have used another 3-4 to see everything we wanted to. Planning another spring visit to hit those places we didn't. The Needles area of Canyonlands, Cedar Breaks, Goosenecks State Park just to name a few. It's beautiful part of the country. Figure how long you think it will take and add at least half again to your estimate.
One word of caution, take plenty of water! The National Parks have a couple of potable hook-ups in each and don't sell bottled water anymore. We went in April and went through a case for the two of us in the 5 days, just while away from the rig.
Do some research ahead on access for your furry friends, they are welcome in some areas, but not in others.
