Lou,

Enjoy your trip!

I have pulled our rig through LA traffic and it can be a little hair raising. There really is no slack time there for traffic. If you can stay east of LA and drive in it will be less stressful.

RV travel in the west is generally easier than the east. Larger and more RV parks, fewer low bridges, less traffic and better roads. On the downside from the towing perspective it is not flatland, towing up and down steep grades requires a different skillset. Take it slow and don't overheat your brakes.
