You do not say where you are in Florida, but from the junction of I-10 and I-75, a round trip going through Colorado on I-70 to I-15 to Yellowstone and then heading back East on I-90 through South Dakota is just less than 5,000 miles. That's 10 days of just driving if you can do 500 miles a day, which I think is a lot for an RV. If you could drive 350 miles per day, it would take about half your time just driving. Just something to think about. When we head West from the East coast, we are usually gone for 80-90 days. We usually move about 250 miles on travel days and very rarely travel more than two days in a row. We have been to Yellowstone numerous times and never spent less than a week in the Yellowstone/Grand Teton area.
...We have a month so we can take our time...
