Best route to Interstate 10 from Oregon ???

[ScottGese]

I thought we would be leaving closer to winter but it turns out we sold our house quick enough that we will be leaving on the 26th of Sept. I would like to go South to Interstate 10 and would like to know if there is a route to get there without going through the big cities in California. I'll be driving a 28 ft class c.

I 10 will take you into Arizona but you will pass thru the metropolis of Houston. If you just stay on I 10 it will take you thru the city easily but be aware, if I remember correctly, the speed limit through the city is 85 MPH. It's mega multi laned so I had no problem at 65 and change lanes was not hard. I just hit my turn signal and folks let me in no problem. Phoenix is the only other major metropolis you will encounter and if you just stay on I 10, it too is pretty easy. You can head north on 95 at Quartzsite towards Parker and it will take you to Kingman where you can catch I 40 to Bakersfield. I 5 from Bakersfield takes you to all the way to Oregon. In my opinion, this is the easiest and most direct but there are lots of other variations depending on what you want to see and what kind of time frame you want.

Safe travels

Thanks for your reply. I am traveling FROM Oregon to Florida. I'm wanting to know if there is a route to get down to I 10 from Oregon without traveling through cities like Sacramento and Los Angeles.

Since California wouldn’t allow us to travel on their roads in our coach when we went from the southeast to Oregon.
Reversing our trip, we would take 140 east out of Klamath Falls all the way over to 95 south in Nevada, take 95 south all the way the Vegas.
Nice state roads a year ago and less traveled.
If you don’t have an issue with staying in rest areas, there is a nice rest area, Millers Rest Area on 95 that has a huge RV area and we had a ton of RV company when we stayed there. Also have a dump station and potable water IIRC.

My apology. I had you going the reverse direction. I would still take I 5 to Bakersfield then head east though Arizona. If you are close to Portland you can take 84 east to Pocatello where you pick up I 15 and head south through Utah to La Vegas then on to Kingman.

Thanks for your reply. I'll take a look at the route. And thanks for the tip on the rest stop.
