I travel Denver to Portland OR minimum of 4 times per year in high profile 24 ft Navion RV. Default is northern route Hwy 80 but when weather is too bad defer to Hwy 40/66 starting in Albuquerque.
Should have very little trouble with the exception of wind and semis. Check the wind maps before leaving, I have seen 3 semi's blown over on their side, as well as semis making unintentional multi-lane changes.


HWY40 is OK if you check out the road conditions ahead of time, HWY10 is an alternative choice, more predictable, better weather.



Between Winslow and Flagstaff AZ is a site to see called "Meteor Crater" about 5 miles south of HWY 40. There is large RV park near the HWY40 turn-off, another one near the crater and a large rest stop frequented by semis a few miles west on Hwy40.
