With such limited time, I'd try to do a trip of just Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho. We've done the Banff/Jasper trip several times and ten days between the parks always seems incredibly rushed. Just pick up and drop off the RV in Calgary. Your trip is equivalent to someone posting they want to fly into Denver, see Rocky Mountain NP, Maroon Bells, Mesa Verde and all five Utah National Parks and drop the RV off in Salt Lake City a week later. Try to imagine how much of Rocky Mountain NP or Mesa Verde you would see in a couple of hours. You will basically see the inside of your windshield for virtually the entire trip.
Just for comparison, this summer, we're doing a similar trip and just the part including Vancouver, Banff and Jasper and the trip in between is four weeks. I had to drop a couple of weeks worth of stops we wanted to make for lack of time. This time we've scheduled a full two weeks in the Banff/Jasper area.
