Keep in mind that fuel will be cheaper in the lower U.S. than driving all across Canada. Also, the Plains states in the lower 48 looks the same north of them in Canada.
Unless there's something you really want to see going east to west in Canada, I'd suggest you drive across the lower U.S. from east to at least Montana, Idaho or Washington then head north.
Have fun planning. It's an awesome trip and not difficult at all. It's just a lot of miles. Don't think of it as one trip. Think of it as many short trips tacked onto each other. :) Don't plan on driving long days and don't make a ton of reservations. Just go and stop where it looks like a good place for some siteseeing. There are tons of lovely boondocking spots along the way overlooking a river or lake. You don't need a RV park all the time. Mix it up with public parks, too. Canada and the Yukon's Provincial parks are great!
Plan to cross into Canada by the 3rd week of May and return the first of September. Stay as long as you can unless you plan to make this trip often.
