I have tried all the routes in my 15+ years traveling to AZ. The absolute best route in terms of better scenery, avoiding the crowded freeways, and crazy drivers is:
East on Hwy-58 (I am assuming you are overnighting at Orange Grove RV Parl - great oranges!
Stay on Hwy-58 to I-15 north outside of Barstow (yea you are on the freeway but for only a couple of miles.
At Barstow go south on Hwy-247 to Lucerne (the 247 cafe is a great lunch spot)
At Lucerne (after lunch), Hwy-247 turns east at the intersection and so should you.
At Yucca Valley, Hwy-247 dead ends into Hwy-62. Turn right on Hwy-62.
Hwy-62 dead ends into I-10 just west of Palm Springs. Go east on I-10 to your destination.
