Hello Jim from Jersey,
You'll be coming through my "backyard". I grew up in Ticonderoga and we Workamp Summers now in Schroon Lake.
So much to see and do and 3 days doesn't give you much time.I would suggest 3 possible routes from the ferry landing in Plattsburgh.
The first would be route 3 which would take you into Saranac Lake where you could pick up route 73 into Lake Placid where you could visit the Olympic venues. Our 2 favorite venues which you go right past on 73 is the ski jump complex where you can ride to the top on the gondola and also see actual jumping on Summer weekends or the watch young hopefuls learning and practicing by jumping into pools during the week. The Olympic Bobsled venue is also South of LP. Both should have room for your rig to park. From 73 you can pick up route 9 and continue South.
The second choice would be to stay on route 3 out of Saranac and visit"The Wild Center" in Tupper Lake and meet Adirondack Nature up close and personal.From there pick up route 30 to Blue Mountain Lake where you can visit "The Adirondack Museum" which is truly one of a kind. Route 28 out of Blue Mountain Lake is a beautiful drive and will take you back to Route 9 in Warrensburg where we can suggest a nice campground called Warrensburg Travel Park where we have also Workamped in the past.
Our choice for the 3rd route would be South on route 9 which was the North/South route before I-87 opened.
All 3 of these routes are truck routes and will give you no problems with any type of RV.
Beautiful scenery whatever route you take. If I can help with any specific info, send me a note.
