JP and Jackie,
If you have not been to the Olympic Peninsula area I'd recommend you just stay on highway 20 till you get out on Whidbey Island. Just follow 20 until it ends! Then take the ferry across to the mainland at Port Townsend. The ferry crossing is just a short ride. I think it took about 30 minutes and wasn't too expensive. I did a fuel cost and a time study comparison and it was pretty much a tie.
There are a fairly good number of RV parks around that part of the country. We stayed at a park in Forks and used it as a base camp. We visited places north and south of Forks. We also stayed at a park in Sequim. That is a nice little town. They had a great Farmer's Market there.
You can visit the most northwesterly point in the Continental United States. Olympic National Park makes a nice place to visit. Of course highway 101 is a very scenic route. Just take 101 on south to visit Hoquiam and points south.
The Oregon Coast is one of our favorite place to visit. There are many RV parks both State and Commercial. If you are a member of the Elk's Club then you will want to stay in some of their parks. We recommend the park on the south side of Tilamook and the one on the north side of Florence. Very nice parks. Of course they are not resorts. They do not have a pool or that sort of thing. But they are clean and spacious parks.
If you have specific places you know you want to visit list them and there are many folks here who will be able to give you info on specific parks. One place we highly recommend is located in Canyonville, OR. 7Feathers RV park and Casino is one of the nicest parks in the country. You can also take a road from there to Crater Lake. The road is not the best for towing your Monty but I don't think you'd have any trouble. It is a very scenic route. But you can go 25 miles north to Roseburg and take hwy 138 over to Crater Lake.
Of course if you're coming north on 199 into Grants Pass then Canyonville is a bit out of the way. But well worth the extra time and distance.
If you are going to Bend after Crater Lake then all you do is exit north out of the park and when you hit the connecting road take it East to highway 97. Then just head north on 97 and it takes you right into Bend.
If you want to take 138 again you would just exit north out of the park but instead of going east you would go west. Maybe I did not understand what you were asking in regards to this.
You have some beautiful country to travel in. Have a great trip. Dennis
