You could spend a year sightseeing in DC but you don't want to spend one second driving an RV in there. And that's about all you'll do is drive because parking is extremely difficult for a car so forget an rv. Stay at Cherry Hill and use mass transit. Passes make it fairly cheap especially since you won't have any parking fees. The DC traffic both in DC and the freeways surrounding it is horrible.
The museums and monuments are all free. Just make sure everybody wears comfortable shoes (not flip-flops) as you will do SIGNIFICANT walking. The Mall from the Capitol Bldg to Lincoln Memorial is over three miles. You could spends months there alone with the Smithsonian right there plus all the monuments.
Though Williamsburg is neat almost ALL of it is re-constructed, not original and it is VERY expensive. Yorktown and Jamestown are both within ten miles of Williamsburg so tons of history there.
Have fun.
