Trailer Village at the south rim is a dump. I wouldn't recommend staying there at all. If staying in the park I prefer Mather, but it won't accommodate large RVs (I have a 26 ft TT and its about as large as I would want to take into Mather). Also doesn't have hook-ups (if that's important to you).
I would recommend the GC Railway (the train.com). It is ~$40 a night, but is very clean, has all the amenities, an easy walk to downtown Williams for food, grocery store (Safeway), etc., and a good location to see the GCNP, Flagstaff, and surrounding areas. They also give a Good Sam discount.
You can use your toad to drive to the canyon. Once there park near the Back Country office and your a short walk to the rim, Maswick Lodge, Kolb Studio, Bright Angel trailhead, and of course the shuttle stops. You can take the shuttle to the main visitor center, Hermits Rest, and other points within the park.
Enjoy the GCNP. I just did two hikes overnighting in the canyon and recently visited the north rim. It's a great place to visit.
