Are you pulling that 32QB with the Ram 1500? If so, I might suggest the most moderate mountain driving to get to Fishing Bridge. If that's the case, you might want to avoid the Big Horns. I think I'd still go through Cody, but maybe by way of Billings. You'll still have a bit of mountain driving after entering YS, but there won't be any steep descents to speak of.
If I'm underestimating the braking abilities of the truck, or if you're using a bigger truck or smaller camper, U.S. 16 exits I-90 at Buffalo and is a fairly easy, scenic trip over the Big Horns -- wide, few steep stretches up or down, mostly gentle curves. It's the route I'd normally recommend, but it might be a bit much for a flatlander, a big trailer and a small truck. :)
