Where in Arizona? If you're north of Phoenix then just take I40 east. Actually if you're in Phoenix the only bad hills are I17 to Flagstaff. (We actually go north through Payson to avoid I17. still some hills but not so bad).
If you do go through Flagstaff, just east of there is The Crater. Very interesting.
Then we some times over night in Holbrook on I40 or down the road a bit in Gallop.
Anyway, just east of Holbrook is the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert. They are all one park.
Once you cross the continental divide at Grants NM you will drive through a lava flow that looks like it was formed yesterday. Impressive.
Albuquerque is our next stop. We generally stay at the American RV Park right off I40. Lots to see in that area including a day trip to Santa Fe.
Then on to Amarillo and the Big Texan Steak House. They actually have their own RV park complete with free limo service to the restaurant. We generally over night there and have a steak dinner.
Then on to OKC. We usually stay at the Twin Fountains RV Park. Lots to do and see there including the Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Museum. Not what you might think. It's actually a fantastic art museum.
From there it's I35 north and home for us. Usually at least one stop along the way over night.
I'm sure others will chime in with more.
