In the more northern parts of the NE many RV facilities start closing after labor day and most close by Oct so I would suggest you focus on the more northern regions on your way east and then loop south on your way back. For example, the region from Boston, NYC thru Philadelphia and then West or further south are balmy days and cool nights in Oct with foliage colors at their peak. Sept is similar in the northern tier. August can be really hot almost anywhere. I've seen 100 degree days in Billings, Mt Rushmore and all across the Midwest in August, which is peak of the "dog days" when even night time temps stay high. After labor day things cool down and families with kids are gone so campgrounds and national parks, etc are much less crowded and even many of the most popular areas are easier to access. So my personal preference would be go north in Sept on your way east and loop further south in Oct on your gradual return. The northern regions tend to be cool, sunny and dry in Sept and that pleasant fall weather gradually sinks south in Oct.
