Edd505, the 70 intersection is in Alamogordo, you're thinking the loop highway over Transmountain. The 70 has San Augustine pass, about 5K in altitude. Short, steep climb, on a 4 lane hwy. Not a problem.

54 is good road the entire way. There are some turns so watch the signs. Alamogordo has a space museum & toy train museum worth seeing. In El Paso 54 will intersect with hwy70 (cross mountain rd) which will take you to I10. Just after you turn onto 70 maybe a mile is a Boarder Patrol museum. Oct you may hit some rain and wind but snow and ice would be a freak, temps will be 60-70 days 40s nights. Coming from OK there are no real mountain passes, NM is mostly mountains so lots of up and downs. I live south central & we are about 5000ft, we meet friends in the Yuma area January. Not sure if you have been to Quartzite,AZ but there is a large RV show there worth a I been there.

Thanks to all for your suggestions! We have decided on 54 from Amarillo to Las Cruces to Yuma. Sightseeing will be another trip.

It looks like we have 2 choices:
Albuquerque to Kingman on 40 & down 95 to Yuma
Albuquerque to Las Cruces on 25 toTucson on 26 & 10 to Yuma
The third option is from Amarillo to Roswell to Las Cruces on 70.
We don't want to deal with any ice or snow! Mountain passes? Thanks!
