RVing Oregon - route advice

We're leaving the end of June. Taking our three dogs in our 22ft Winnie and going land sailing. We're just going to go where the wind takes us. Driving through No. Calif. to Klamath and Crater, then Bend and Sisters. From there up to Columbia River Gorge. What's the most scenic way? The dogs love to look out the window.

I don't think of Klamath Lake as particularly scenic. I might suggest heading up the coast on 101 and then cutting across by Oregon Caves to Crater Lake. You might head across Mt Hood highway after Bend. The high desert museum near Bend is quite interesting.

US97 is not particularly scenic in my opinion (though it does have the distinction of having the longest purely straight stretch of highway I've come across on the west coast).

We are fans of Route 58 from the Bend area down to Eugene. Great hiking around Diamond Creek Falls. Eugene is very dog friendly--park your RV in the parking lot of the Valley River Center near the pedestrian bridge over the Willamette, cross the bridge, take the dogs for a walk through the park, then have lunch sitting outside at Zenon's cafe (dogs welcome at the outside tables) and walk back. You can then take I-5 or the more scenic, but slower, back route up to Portland and over to the Columbia Gorge area.
FYI, what kind of dogs are they?

Two yellow labs and an Australian Shepard. It makes for lots of fun on the road. I've been to the rv'ing sites, but nobody gives advice like Fodorites. We're going to sit down with the map this weekend and let Annie, Bonnie and Eddie decide. But I'm going to tell them that Klamath Falls is out.
