2004 I toured Charlottesville, Williamsburg, coastal Carolina in January, leaving behind two feet of snow in Michigan. We didn't find the weather too cold to do anything (except maybe too cold to swim). Temperatures those few days were in the 50's with sunshine. Different things are going on in winter, versus summer, more of what there is to see and do will be inside.
"Too cold" is relative, and pretty personal. Growing up in Michigan, there were a lot of things we couldn't do unless it was cold enough, i.e. winter sports need dry snow, not slush, and wet ice makes for messy skating. But if you don't go outside when temperatures drop below 60 F, then February might be too cold.
If only an hour away, I would make it a day trip from home. That would get around the question "might it be too cold to have full use of the RV" which is iffier, depending on the temperatures in any given period. But how far for a day trip is also relative, I live in a part of the country where going out to eat might be 1-2 hours of driving.
