First trip Calgary to Phoenix - advice needed
We're fairly new to rv'ing, and will be towing our new travel trailer (35') to Arizona from Calgary within the next month or so (Sept/Oct 2014). We're planning on taking Interstate 15, to Salt Lake City, and then over to Las Vegas, then down to Phoenix. We've never taken this route.
Some advice from those who have traveled this route would really be appreciated. We're wondering about:
1. WhenWhen we should leave, so that there's a reasonable chance of avoiding snow and wintery conditions. (Understood that weather's never a sure thing, but we'd like to minimize the odds of having to pull the trailer in snow.
2. The I-15 itself - is it a good route? mountain passes? better to go over to Las Vegas than continuing through the mountains of Utah?
Again, any advice would be appreciated
