In our opinion the best places for touring those parks are in the parks themselves. Each national parks has a terrific web site. Explore it thoroughly for information on camping, things to do, road information, etc.
If you need hookups then Fishing Bridge is the place - up to 40' RV length. The truck will be parked next to your travel trailer.

For Grand Teton, Colter Bay RV is the place. If you're retired and have more time, I'd suggest adding more time to Grand Teton. Both parks are completely different in looks and if you like gorgeous hikes - short or long - Grand Teton is the place. If you happen to bring bikes, Grand Teton has a great paved easy trail along the highway with the mountains constantly in view.

Don't try to tour both parks from one place. It's too much driving and you probably wouldn't want to do it more than a day. Move from park to park.
Have fun planning!
