Don't know what route you are considering but the sequence of parks you listed means a lot of extra miles due to backtracking.
My thoughts - Head west on I80 to I29 to I90 and start with the Black Hills (as already mentioned, more in the area than just Mt. Rushmore), then continue on I90 to the Little Bighorn Battlefield then on to Glacier NP. The west side of Glacier will probably be better for you as there are more RV Parks on the side. To get there, take I90 to Missoula then route 93 north. From Glacier back south on 93 to I90 east to Belgrade then route 191 to West Yellowstone. A number of good RV Parks in and near to West Yellowstone with Grizzly RV our favorite. Fishing Bridge is the only RV park with hookups inside Yellowstone, if you can get a reservation there. Leave Yellowstone via the South entrance to Grand Teton NP. Colter Bay RV is the only place inside the Park with full hookups. From Grand Teton take route 191 south through Jackson to Rock Springs then i80 east to either route 287 or I25 south to Rocky Mountain NP.
Agree with others that Little Bighorn is a few hours visit. I would put more days to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. I don't think that the Black Hills are worth 6 days but others will likely disagree.
Not sure about the route yet either because we are reevaluating the trip, dropped GNP and LBH. Going to RMNP the mt Rush the Yellow-GT. Need to find something to plug in after GT...maybe Devils Tower but if weather is dicey we"ll look south. I really appreciate the info on how much time the parks to see them.
