Susanbee - you will have a wonderful trip. Here are some thoughts for you:
Larger Motorhomes climb large grades slower and will give you a slightly lower average travel time. Also, some states require class A and C motorhomes to travel at truck speeds, lower than cars.
50 mph average mph including brief rest stops is what I use to estimate travel time. 400 miles is approximately 8 hours travel. This does not give much time for stopping and enjoying the sights as you come across them. We try to mix a long day followed by a shorter day to keep more rested as we travel.
Yellowstone is wonderful but it already very late to get reservations. Try the suggested parks in west Yellowstone.
Check goodsamclub.com or Woodalls for online directory of RV parks including driving directions, price, phone numbers and amenities. You can purchase a directory at a Camping world and some bookstores as you travel but online works quite well.
