In NH, hit the Kankamangus Highway. Very scenic and campgrounds somewhat nearby. NH is loaded with campgrounds.
If you don't need hookups, "somewhat nearby" includes some that are directly on the road. The Kancamagus is reasonable to drive with an RV, too; and other roads in the White Mountains are also lovely.
In Vermont, Smugglers Notch (VT 108) is a very pretty drive but absolutely not suitable for a motorhome; you could very well get wedged in between the rocks. Shorter vehicles (cars, trikes, bikes, pickups--that sort of thing) are fine, taking care to be alert through the narrow parts.
VT 17 through the Appalachian gap (betwixt route 100 and route 116) is a pretty mountain pass, quite steep and curvy. The view from the top is quite nice. I wouldn't recommend it for an RV (though it is entirely doable if one takes care, unlike Smuggler's Notch).
For a short jaunt, both Mt Philo and Mt Ascutney state parks have neat carriage roads and impressive views. There are at least a couple campsites at Mt Ascutney that your RV would fit in, though it would require juggling the trailer around some. The Vermont state parks all lack any hookups, though most have dump stations and potable water fills and shower houses...and usually nice, relatively private rustic sites separated by vegetation. Many of the sites are relatively small, dating from the CCC.
Upstate New York, particularly the Adirondacks, has some really beautiful scenery and campgrounds as well.
