We're two people, will mostly be camping/tenting and going to an occasional hotel every now and then. Focus will be on nature/national parks, but also cities, towns, and cabins every so often. Will mostly be cooking our food but go to restaurants every now and then.
Cost includes everything except car payment. Hoping to do $40-50 a day for two people!

Do you think this is doable?

It depends on where you go, how much space you want, and how much privacy you need. Cities like NYC, LA, SF & MIA will probably cost a minimum of $2000 for a studio, if you book several months in advance. But you might also want to try sites like Kindred, if you have a place to swap.

I'd probably prepare to set the following montly budget:

accommodation: $2500 (1)
groceries: $250/week (4)
bus, metro, cabs: $250 per person (2)
flights/rail: $250 per person (2)
dinners: $100 per person (2)
activities: $75 per person (2)

$6000/month is probably the minimal viable budget.
