Thinking about a trip across country
I am probably being too ambitious based on my set up but I have been itching to take myself and my family out west for a family camping Trip. Here are my two major concerns and maybe you fine folks ...

So your two primary concerns are the comfort of the kids in the truck and the comfort of the kids sleeping. RIght?
I'd have a family conference to discuss it. Help the kids understand the pros and cons, and then have a discussion. Answer all their questions. Then, depending on your personal family values, either put it to a vote, or persuade them that this will be the most fun ever and tell them they're going to do it.
Yellowstone is an unforgettable trip! My kids, who are now 36 years old (twins), still talk about our trip out there in 1999. We did it in a popup, and we did some 12-hour to 13-hour driving days. I would never do such long drives now (I'm too old and uncomfortable), but it didn't trouble the twins in the least. They have no unpleasant memories of the trip.
