If I take the RV to SA I stay at Travelers World.
Attractions? I guess the Alamo, to say you were there, and Riverwalk for the masses of tourists. I like visiting the other Missions, Alamo is smallest and probably least well preserved, but it is a pop culture icon.
I like the Mexican market, the natural history museum, the aviation museum, and some of the military bases. Not all are as open as they were before 9/11. Other people go to SA for commercial attractions like Sea World and the water parks, if that's what you mean by attractions.
For me, San Antonio is less about attractions, more about events, culture, people. What is going on at the time of your visit? Festivals, exhibitions, shows? Somebody in San Antonio is celebrating something almost every weekend, and some festivals run through the week. Check the calendar of events, online, for the time of your visit. But coming from LA, the cultural events in SA may not be that big a deal, there is always something going on there too, if one cares for the experience. For that matter, for most of the commercial attractions, there is a bigger version in southern California.
I also use San Antonio as a point from which to explore Hill Country to the north and west, and the Texas coastal plain, cattle and cotton, to the east. Not too far up I-35, San Marcos is the focus of water sports and outlet mall shopping. A little further, the techno and intellectual culture of Austin and University of Texas. Students, professors, technocrats mixing in bars and restaurants.
If you don't want to be caught up in Texas urban culture, you can stay outside the 1604 loop, west side by Sea World. Alamo or Blazing Star resorts. Comfortably suburban, could be the fringe of any other small metro area in the U.S. Around the 1604 loop, it could be Indianapolis, St Louis, Dallas, or Kansas City.
