Here is a 10 month plan. It is a little on the cheap side but covers the top 10 RV places in the USA. I would use this the same analysis if I would do it for a real over this next year. Being you live in Harrisburg that is were I started this trip from and ended it.

Total Miles: 8864

No budgeted repair costs ($50 monthly), food ($500), vehicle/life insurances($250), Medicare ($204), sightseeing ($200), hobbies ($400), no S&B home costs or income taxes. Only Fuel and Campground costs for once around the USA. To be safe I would automatically add 10% if done in the next 2 years and 20% if done with in the next 5 years...after that who knows.
That's a nice plan! Wish I could do it this year!
