We made almost the same trip 2 years ago, but from FL up to Rafter J Bar in Hill City, SD. Stopped on the way at Mitchell SD for about 2 hrs to see the Corn Palace(RV parking available) and overnighted at the Badlands KOA with a side trip to Wall Drug. When we were in Hill City, we took side trips to Rushmore, Crazy Horse & Devils Tower(about 2 hr drive). Then we moved on to Grizzly RV Park in West Yellowstone. After West Yellowstone we moved to the Grand Tetons stayed at Colter RV Park.
1) For guidebooks, we used Next Exit and Rand McNally Road Atlas as well as our Garmin RV760LMT.
2) Our favorite road service is Coach-Net. Unfortunately, we had to use them this trip, but they did a stellar job.
3) Not sure what you are driving, but if you have a critical part for your vehicle such as a turbo hose for our Ford we carried that as a spare. Not expensive, but an easy fix if you have the part. We also carry a Jumpstarter and a standard battery charger. We do carry and use a NOAA weather radio and an emergency lantern as well.
Have a great trip
