Glacier National Park is very beautiful but unless you are avid hikers there is no way 5 to 7 days in Glacier equals 5 to 7 days in Jasper.
There are some great day or more trips you could take out of Revelstoke but you are going a long way east to do so. I would think you would be better off to include this area in the 5 to 7 weeks you plan for next year.
Why not spend your time in the Cariboo region taking day trips out of the towns such as Quesnel to Barkerville then cut west from Lilooet to Pemberton (#99), Whistler & Squamish. That is a very pretty area.
You might want to get advise on this route for your 40 footer as there is a very steep curvy section, downhill for you. When I last went that way the road condition was excellent but that is several years ago
If you choose not to go that route the Fraser Canyon (#1) is a nice drive.
That would leave you with the Okanagan, Shuswap, Rogers Pass & Kootenay areas for next year which combined with Banff, Jasper, Yoho & Kootenay National Parks and the Kananaskis would make an excellent 5 to 7 week trip.
