I'm not going to pile on, but would recommend a much smaller scope trip in a two-to-three weeks window. Jeanie and I are move-right-along travelers and let the stops for the evening present themselves as we go. It has taken decades, nay, a whole lifetime to get to this place. We travel in the XTC, an off-road equipped, hard side truck camper that will fit in a normal parking place in the boondocks or the city. Tioga George, Sleepy, DJ, and Whazoo have been my mentors. Short of Armageddon, we are set up for traveling in any season and for long periods of time over any type of road surface, or no road. This is at the 9600 foot level in the Eastern Sierra Nevada, last week:
If you are pulling your 28 foot trailer you must build in lots of time to find an appropriate place to stay over night. It's just a more leisurely mode of travel with a trailer, which has a built-in propensity toward the sedentary. A TC has a built in propensity to keep moving.
I do approve of your want to see Yellowstone.....before it BLOWS!
I posted a question about how long it would take to do a circumnavigation of the lower 48, clockwise, all the international boundary states in 8 weeks, and the answers all came back, "too short a time frame." Most repliers reported, "12 to 16 weeks, minimum."
The trip has not materialized yet, but the comments were definitely taken under advisement.
Pick a closer venue and have a great trip. Your OP trip can wait till you have the time.
