Patrick, You have to register for the site to get all the details. The tour does not provide a van (in fact the cost of registration is $0) but riders are free to arrange their own, and some already have. There are details on the web forum.
Every day's ride is a RUSA permanent brevet, so the only rules are those that RUSA places on their rides. SAG is allowed under RUSA and ACP rules but only at designated controle points. I would think though that most people who would do this sort of tour would be experienced randonneurs, because the daily distances are quite far compared to what people normally do when touring. So I don't think that folks are expecting a van to be waiting there at every stop. I certainly wouldn't. If I can get them to take my camping stuff from point to point I am happy to contribute to the effort. I imagine they would help also in case of catastrophic mechanical issues or medical issues. Getting stranded in the middle of some random Midwestern state would not be fun.
