I don't know if you've traveled west or not but once you get off interstates you don't make good time.
Minneapolis to Custer via I-90 is approximately 650 miles = 1-1/2 days of driving
Custer to Yellowstone via Cody is approximately 500 miles = 2 days of driving and this is pushing it.
Jackson to Minneapolis via Casper/Rapid City/Sioux Falls is approx. 1100 miles = 3-4 days of driving.
That's 7 days of just driving back and forth. You have 12 days to do it and tour leaving you only 5 days of touring.
I'd recommend skipping Custer and heading straight to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and use your 5 days there. You can always do Custer another trip.
If you want full hookups try to get a site in Fishing Bridge RV in Yellowstone for 3 nights and Colter Bay RV in Grand Teton for 2 nights. Don't stay in the town of Jackson at the Virginian. It's too far to day trip into the Tetons and the Tetons is a lot more scenic and pleasant.
