The East to West is a great route, have done it myself. Ærø can be done in a day, but spend 2-3 days, mabye a hike one day. Café Havkatten (Marstal) serves a great Fish n´ chips, the owner is original an copenhagen guy, hwo have travelled a lot him self. And the maritime museum in Marstal is really good if you are in to that.
Cold war museums can be found on both Stevns and Langeland, both are great, but be sure to have the guided tour in the undergrund tunnels, thats 90% of the experience. And book the ticket in advance, if yu will have a thing to say regards time of the tour. If you like the Stevnsfortet, you should also see the Langelandsfortet.
Insted of taking the ferry from Sæby to Fynshav, you can take one from Sæby to Faaborg, where there are an all you can eat for cheap, classic danish seafood lunch, with locally brewed IPAs. Then a short distance to the habour of Bøjden, but the ferry to Fynshav is less frequent.The Western Coast, i have not cycled, only visited by car. A lot of tourists there, but the coastline is beautiful.

Campsites with are offered by the state (Skov- og Naturstyrrelsen), and can vary between a field to pitch your tent to a place with toilets, a tap, firepit and shelters. See map of the official campsites on
www.udinaturen.dk

Great maps can be had from Nordisk Korthandel, on Ved Vesterport 4, Copenhagen. Espcially the map-series offered from them:
https://www.scanmaps.dk/cykel.html/
They are marked with campsites, bikestores, grocery-stores, routes and so on. If you are the PGS kind of guy.

At the moment we have pretty changing weather, bring raingear and an extra warm shirt/jacket. And spare socks. Cooking gear? Gas canisters can be had almost anyware, alcohol in most stores (Husholdningssprit, Borup sprit, blue bottle), and unleadded fuel, yeah...

Use www.yr.no for your weather forecast.

Best wishes. P.
