Sounds like a great trip and very doable. You're wise saving the Southwest for the Fall.
Don't set your GPS for the best route. You don't see anything via the interstates.
Head north perhaps via Michigan or Wisconsin and then take Hwy 2 across toward Glacier Nat'l Park as your first major stop. You can then continue west to Washington. The Olympic Peninsula is an awesome place, specifically the Port Townsend/Sequim area. Lots to do.
Then head south on the 101 into Oregon's gorgeous coastline and into northern California. On the north side of San Francisco you could head east via I-80 and hopefully it's September. Then get into Colorado and the Utah national parks and Arizona before heading east again.
Get a good paper, yes paper :), road atlas and highlight places you might want to see and then make your route from it. Also, don't be afraid to drive secondary roads. We did that all the time and that's where you see great things. Your 34' RV will have no problem. We did it in our 40'.
You might also want to purchase online the 'Mountain Directory for Truckers and RVers'. Many mountain roads are just fine to drive with a RV but some are not. This publication will help you decide.

As you're planning in a specific area, come back and ask questions on that one area. It's hard for us to plan this big trip for you all at once. We also don't know if you only want RV parks or do you like public parks?
Good luck!
