Atl, GA to Badlands and Yellowstone

We'll be leaving Atl, Ga last week of Aug heading to the badlands spending 5 0r 6 days then on to Yellowstone probably arrive sometime around the 2nd week of Sept. If someone has suggestions on other things to see along the way that would be appreciated.
I'll be driving a 43' (13' high)RV towing a Jeep any particular routes to avoid? Also any recommendations for a large rig friendly RV campground with full hookups?
Thanks,

    The Badlands National Park Loop Road is only 28 miles long. It's worth driving through and stopping at the pull outs to look around, but it wouldn't take 5 or six days to see it if you walked the whole loop. But if you do walk, you'll be thirsty. Another 7 miles straight north on 240 gets you to Wall Drug Store. They have free ice water.
    Seriously, there's so much to see, do and enjoy in the Black Hills, it would be a shame to miss something because you spent so much time in the Badlands.
