I got the go-ahead to plan a honey-moon camping trip. We get married Nov 1, and would like to travel west for 2 weeks. Home base is Chicago. We should have our new Momentum 320G by October which...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, keep them coming!
We like to explore nature, views, etc. We like the other stuff as well, cities and wineries, food, etc. Those come second when camping to the outdoors. Was debating bringing the Harley with, but again, not sure how the weather will be at that time of the year in states I never visit?
Heading through CO mid November does worry me a little as I am not sure how the weather is. If weather is decent I can see heading west on 70 on the first leg and coming back east on 40. If weather would be questionable maybe drop it to taking 40 west and 10 back home and visit more southern states.
I am also OK boondocking if we have to. With generator and propane I am not too concerned about spending a night not at a CG.
As for travel speed, I hauled my 34' TT around 70mph usually. Seems to be a good speed the truck and trailer liked. It easily pulled @ 80+, but I would back it down so my tires didn't explode, and in an effort to be a responsible adult. Thinking back to earlier this year I did my longest trailer pull with an enclosed car hauler. 1100 miles in one day, but I had a co-driver and we swapped every 300 miles. I think it took us 16 hours. I would not look forward to pulling into an unfamiliar campground after 10 hours of trailing, especially at night time. The next day we loaded up the car, headed back home over 2 days. It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
