Consider making reservations soon for New England (at least). Campsites are not always easy to come by on a walk-in basis during foliage season, to put it lightly, and particularly during the weekends. Also be prepared for a good bit of (sometimes slow-moving) traffic, particularly on scenic highways.
Many campgrounds close down around Columbus day; pretty much all of the Vermont state park campgrounds do.
Things to see and do include these:
Acadia (which it seems you have covered)
The White Mountains of New Hampshire (lots of possibilities for details—Franconia Notch, the Kancamagus Highway, Mt Washington Cog Railway, Clark's Trading Post if you're into roadside attractions, ....)
Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, VT (pretty near a full day's worth there)
Smuggler's Notch is a neat area for a few hours at least, but absolutely positively do NOT try to traverse it with your motorhome. Stowe, home of Ben and Jerry's perhaps most famously, is at one end of the notch.
If you get more towards upstate New York, there are some marvelous areas there, too, including (but not limited to) Letchworth State Park and Watkins Glen, both in the finger lakes area.
It would be easier to make suggestions with some idea of the sorts of things that interest you. Hiking? Biking? Shopping? Touristy attractions? Cities? Museums?
