I think you may be being optimistic with a 3 week vacation to cross
the country and back - even MT is a loooong way. I just came back from a
trip to Big Bend (5,000 miles round trip) and it took me 10 days of just driving
(7 days out and 3 days back)
On my way west, I set my limit at 350 miles per day; at 4PM I would pull
over get out the RVPARKY App and look for a rv park (pulbic/private) to
stop for the night.
I did not have any problems finding a place to stay - I did this during the
summer months when camping is more active.
On the way back, I drove till 7PM and then found the closest WalMArt and stayed
there.
Personally, if I were in your shoes - I would wing it, gives you more flexibility.
