Over more than 50 years of camping, I've been to all of the parks mentioned multiple times during the June/July time frame, more of it tent camping than RV. For the RV portion, most of it was running strictly off batteries, with only a few years where I had a generator option. I've never had hookups in any of those parks.
Canyonlands will most likely be the hottest, possibly breaking 100 during the day. Humidity is generally low though, and it cools down pretty nicely at night. Good vent fans, lots of open windows and patience for it to cool after the sun goes down works okay most of the time. Depending on where you are, the night skies should be good so staying outside late into the evening is generally a pleasant part of the day.
Personally we rarely use the furnace in Yellowstone, Glacier, or anywhere else for that matter when national park type camping. Do like the tent campers and have warm bedding for the night. In the morning, I have the percolator sitting on the stove ready to go. I hop out of bed for for a moment, turn on the stove, crawl back into bed and just relax to the slowly building smell of my morning brew. The stove burner takes the edge off and we sometimes might run the furnace a little to help out here. Generally don't need it any more than maybe 15 minutes or so though.
Your trip sounds a little busy to me in my older years, but memory serves to remind me I had a whole lot of great adventure in my younger years doing much the same.
