That is am ambitious trip. RVs are not designed to be driven at 70 miles an hour or more. 50 MPH travel speed takes ion to account the slowdown on hills and a few rest/lunch stop.
As a Seattle area resident I will tell you the city is NOT RV friendly for any size RV. There are zero RV parks in Seattle and the closest are a ways out requiring time in traffic to get into the city. Seattle is a wonderful place to visit just not for big rigs.
You will be spending a lot of time looking at freeways whizzing by to do this trip as laid out. I would suggest reducing the miles and planning to spend seeing places with time to relax and do more in depth. RVing is wonderful but not so much for driving for miles with people peering out side windows.
I wish you a wonderful trip regardless of what you do. Those mileage charges can really add up so be sure to know what your trip costs will be. Summer time reservations are a must and National parks require booking VERY early!! Happy Trails
