I'm not from Chicago and only visited while passing through on work about 20 years ago, so these are just thoughts and I'll let the locals decide how crazy I would be. Idea is only from looking at maps.
I would go in about 5am to beat the traffic and park at the mall. Either actually stay up or at least leave a light on and be ready for the security guard to knock on the door. If you tell them you are waiting on the stores to open and can name a few, I would think they wouldn't give you a problem. You can then do your shopping and take breaks back at the RV. Then either leave about 8pm after the traffic thins back out.
You could even leave the motorhome there for a few hours during the middle of the day while you run down to Michigan Ave. Just wouldn't have the cab pick me up from the motorhome.
