I believe your question was about sites around Albuquerque. Instead, I'd recommend staying either at Santa Fe Skies RV in Santa Fe or nearby at Cochiti Lake Corp of Engineer park. Near Cochiti is Kasha-Katuwe National Monument which is extremely interesting. From either Santa Fe or Cochiti you could also go to Bandelier National Monument and even a day trip to Taos.
When you're ready to head to Mesa Verde take 84 north to Pagosa Springs, CO (stop for a few hours of soaking - awesome) then west on 160 to Mesa Verde.
I hope you can work in more days for your trip especially since you have a Jeep. Go up to Silverton, CO and do some of the trails. It's prime Jeeping country from easy runs to extreme. Stop at the Visitor Center for ideas and maps. It's one of our favorite places.
