..regarding your comment of 'fixing food'...you can do that just like home in any RV. They all have stoves, ovens and refrigerators, along with a furnace. You'll have no problems.
I would not even think of a popup tent camper for what you are planning. You'll be setting up and tearing down continuously for one year solid - in winds, rain and perhaps even snow...not fun. Definitely go with an RV..you and your family will be much more comfortable. I still think if you had a truck going with a travel trailer or small 5th wheel would be your best bet for economy unless you can find a motorhome/Class C in excellent condition. You don't want to have to worry about the engine while traveling like this.
Also, do your planning to stay IN the national parks. You'll enjoy it much more than staying outside. Even if you don't want to make reservations all the time, if you stay nearby the previous night and drive into the park early morning, you'll get a site. National parks don't reserve all their sites. Some are left for drive-ins.
Your plan is very doable. Have fun planning it.
