As for the province of Ontario, take the TransCanada Highway. The route around Lake Superior and Georgian Bay is very scenic. There are 2 spectacular Provincial Parks worth stopping that are on Lake Superior: Sleeping Giant Provincial Park and Lake Superior Provincial Park. After that I would head East to Algonquin Provincial Park (there are so many bears, wolves and moose you are almost guaranteed a sighting)and then continue East to the Ottawa River and follow it down thru Ottawa and on to Montreal. If you are into museums you can stop in Ottawa. The museums are a little like the Smithsonian but not quite as big.
Agreed, the route around Lake Superior is great. A couple of comments about the provincial parks though. I note that you have a 42 ft RV with a toad, getting into Lake Superior PP will be difficult. We moved up to a 39 ft. 5er and we used to be able to stop at Rabbit Blanket campground in LSPP with a shorter unit, the longer higher unit got scratched up by the trees and the campsites are generally too small to accommodate our unit. We haven't been in the Agawa bay campground for a few years but we found the trees to be a problem there too.
Neys provincial park has some great sites adjacent to the beach on Lake Superior, there is also a hidden gem of a campground in Marathon called Penn Lake park, full services on a lake and a short walk into town. LINK
Pukaskwa National Park just east of Marathon has a few sites for larger RV's and they have some great hiking trails around Superior
