I second brewer's suggestion of checking RV Park Reviews.com. I've had good success following the recommendations found in those reviews.

Opinions will differ, but I wouldn't want to make the trip without a generator. Even if you plan to spend every night of your summer trip in an RV park with electrical hookups or at a high enough elevation so that you don't melt at night without AC, things happen. Plus there are hundreds of public land recreational area campsites out west without hookups and a generator gives you many more options for camping wherever you want. That said, you do need to be mindful of generator noise and the Honda gensets are noticeably quieter than most.

I don't have any experience with a trip of this length - at least not yet. Our longest RV journey to date was three weeks. Based on that one data point, my best advice is after the first 10 days or so, keep all knives and other sharp objects under lock and key.
