Been over that road, as far as San Antonio, a couple of times. You will hit I-10 at Blythe. Couple of CGs there, but not much else until Phoenix. World famous Quartzite is just 12 miles into AZ from Blyth....well worth a stop if you are traveling in the late fall or winter. There is a free shuttle bus from some of the Blythe RV parks to and back from Quartzite.
Mesa, just East of Phoenix, is an RV destination for snowbirds. LOTS of places listed for there in Trailer Life. Likewise, the Tucson area. If you have a few extra $$, stay at the Voyager for a couple of nights...I-10 on the East side of the Tucson area. Class act. Take a couple of days and visit Tombstone and Bisbee while in that area. There are RV parks in Benson and Sierra Vista, both of which are fairly convenient. The Voyager isn't too far away, either, for a day trip to either of those two places.
On East via I-10, the next large RV park area will probably be Las Cruces, NM. For a day trip, I recommend driving to the White Sands Nat Park, and taking the tour there. Very different. About 1+30 each way, as I recollect. Interesting drive.
Once you leave Las Cruces, good RV parks are tough to find and far apart. There is El Paso, of course. East of thee, we have stayed in both Van Horn and Ft. Stockton at different times. Nothing but miles and miles of miles and miles of prairie, and not much to recommend about either town..
Once you get into the Texas Hill Country, things get better. Kerrville is very good, and Fredericksburg is also excellent. Visit the Nimitz Museum there...super! Take a trip to Johnson City and visit the LBJ Ranch. San Antonio is good..lots of RV facilities in the area.
We went to Corpus Christi from there, and I recall a nice drive and pretty country. Don't recall the route, think it was I-37.
That should get you started. With your planned 170 - 200, mi/day, the tough part will be finding good places to stop over east of El Paso until you get to the Hill Country.
Happy Trails!! Best,
