We appriciate all the input and are still planning to head it of. So you drowe San diego to Colorado? Denver? We maybe want to start out in Denver after a couple of days skiing (if we can get the RV out of there.. :)) and drive Las Vegas, San Diego and up to San Francisco and drop it of there beginning of march.
But what route to take out of Denver? I-80, I70 or I-25. I have read that both I-70 and 80 can be very triggy at that time of year.
Maybe I'm too cautious, but an RV in Denver and the mountains west of Denver in January is something I'd only do if I had a flexible schedule. The mountains will have snow, period. Whether a storm causes difficult driving on your travel days would be impossible to predict until you were here - it is something that you'd have to be able to work around and reschedule drive days. Same for down in Denver, but less likely to have winter driving conditions down here in January. Then you have to take into account winterizing or partial-winterizing so nothing freezes. I've been caught driving in crazy winter weather in October and late-May in the mountains around here and it is simply not fun in an RV. If you were going to do it, though, I-25 south to NM would be my recommendation for getting in/out of Denver since it's not "in" the mountains and usually has milder weather.
