I’m planning a round-trip month-long vacation with RV (pulled by VW Atlas) this summer. This would be by family’s first RV trip, so I want to know just how insane this plan is. The general idea is to ...

^Yup, the only thing that needs dialed back with the OPs plan (assuming he’s prepared to roll with confidence on a 6k mile road trip) is the number of “main attractions” they can reasonably hit.
Scale back to like 1 NP per week unless they’re next door to each other, make those reservations. Have a plausible plan A and B (B is always easy, drive into the woods or Walmart for the night and make camp) for the in between nights and let er rip!
Couple/few nights at 3 or 4 main NP destinations and the other 50+% of the nights somewhere else. Throw in a couple hotel stops to doo laundry and let the kids terrorize the pool and you got a trip planned.
And OP, idk if you’ve done any significant “scenery” traveling with your kids, since driving around TX isn’t generally a vacation for the majestic views, but most all kids under the age of late teens and even then, don’t gaf about seeing the 13th, 14th or 57th mountain peak. That part is for the parents and for the kids to think back about how they might wanna see it again, 10-20 years down the road….
A month long trip is a luxury that I’d estimate the vast majority of kids/families ever get to do, or maybe only once or twice. Unless you’re trying out your next stint at homeschooling and being a nomad, lol, the kids will be good with a month on the road, maybe less.
