With limited time the fly & rent is the way to go.
With time & distance you will not get to Anchorage till late in the day so forget Denali the first day. First day will likely be pick up RV & stock it. You might get lucky & get part way to Denali.
Denali is a big place. Been there four times now. Consider doing Teklanika CG 30 miles inside the park rather than the CGs outside the park in what is known as Glitter Gulch. Teklanika avoids about an hour uncomfortable bus ride from gate to Teklanika & an hour of had enough bus ride from Teklanika to the gate.
Figure that your last day will be spent packing up & returning the RV so as many days as you can book in between the better. It is a big state & most roads are only two lane so when there is a jam, there is a jam.
