We just got back yesterday from a trip like this in 3 weeks in our westy
(see my post from last night).

You can mostly figure out the route we took from the major sites I list in
that email, but I plan on putting up a more detailed account on the web
sometime over the next couple of days.

I think 3 weeks is enough to do a trip like this and really enjoy it, but it
is really a minimum amount of time.  Getting all the way west and back in
three weeks will inevitably mean getting into some of your campsites late
and taking dinner/breakfast on the road sometimes, which is not really the
relaxed pace that most camping trips take on.  On the other hand, you will
see a million amazing places.  We had a great time and a great trip.

Feel free to ask me any questions.  I'll post if I get up a trip website.
