Getting Through Yellowstone

Just don't use the North East exit. It's a great road to drive (Bear Tooth Hwy) in your truck, but towing a big 5er would not be any fun.

using the Norris Junction route or the Old Faithful route is probably going to be the "fastest" way to go to cross the Park.

Crossing the Bighorns is not so bad if you use highway 16, through Worland over to Buffalo. The other two roads, 14 and 14A are both pretty tough climbs and descents.
There is a small RV in Ten Sleep as you first enter the village from the west. Sites are big enough to hold you.
Buffalo has two or three RV parks big enough for you.

If you go through the park, you'll have to deal with slow or stopped traffic, especially around Old Faithful, plus the ever present "buffalo jams". And you'll also have to cross the Bighorn Mountain Range, but its 100 miles shorter. If you go north to I-90 its all expressway. Your choice.

Problem isn't going to be through Yellowstone, it's going to be the fun climb and decent over the Big Horns.

The way through Yellowstone would be through Madison over to Canyon Area, down to Fishing Bridge and out through Cody. The southern route by Old Faithful area will have you going over at least one pass and will be longer.

The quicker way though not nearly as scenic is jut to take 191 north out of West Yellowstone to pick up I90.

Looking at the map, it shows a northern route and a southern route. Is one more advisable than the other?

Yes. Roads, no problem, except some places, some times are under construction. When wildlife comes close to the road, expect to wait 10-20 mins while people stop and park on both sides of the road to look, take pictures, (run up and pet them, or check if they're cold and need to be helped, LOL). So if you're happy to take your time and enjoy, you'll be fine. If your looking for a quick trip through, I would suggest early in the morning, or late at night. Traffic seems to be lighter then.
