More like 8 hrs..if lucky!  Also  do it a night!   I-15  out of Berdoo  is 
the infamous  Cajon Pass....not as bad as the Grapevine..but a long steady 
pull...seat puller for many...but most make it fine...

I would go out I-10  to Blythe and cut north to I-40  on Cal 95  OR     at 
Desert Center [ hwy 177]  go north to 62  and over to Vidal Junction,  then 
further to Parker  for the night...then North on  AZ 95  thu Lake Havasu  and hit 
I -40 east of Needles...

Look at the maps..it's simple!...no hills to speak of...Motorhomes go this 
way....

In Kingman AZ  hit Andy Devine Blvd [ Rt 66]  and go to Seligman where you 
rejoin I-40   Don't forget to snack at the RoadKill Cafe!    

Good luck and have fun!
