I can totally relate to the stress and craziness of such travel. I drove a 1979 RV from Seattle, WA to Tucson, AZ (1532 miles, 2466 KM) with a bad (going) transmission. Had to travel at night and early morning only. It would stall halfway up a California mountain ranges. We had to rest frequently. It took two weeks and we did make it. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Life is an adventure.
