Sorry for the very broad question, just starting to think about next summer. We'd like another RV trip. We have done 2, hired an RV and drove the California central coast are, and Yosemite. Trip 2 ...

Yellowstone is fascinating and unique, and the older kids at least would find it fascinating. The youngest might get bored...but that's true most anywhere. I remember also thoroughly enjoying the Badlands as a young boy (I think around 10 years old)—it's great fun to climb around the formations.
Other possible suggestions—mix and match as you see fit:
The Blue Ridge Parkway/Skyline Drive—many opportunities for hiking and fantastic scenery.
The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village
St Louis City Museum (and plenty of other things in St Louis—the arch, a fine zoo, some more museums etc. etc.). The City Museum is not a typical museum—its more of an exploratory playground/art project than anything.
Philadelphia—the historic sites and the art institute are great, among other things
New England offers a lot in the way of small towns and hiking and fishing and so forth. A tour through the Maine coast and the White Mountains would be lots of fun. Boston has an excellent children's museum and an excellent science museum (and horrible driving, particularly for an RV).
The Canadian Maritime provinces would be another great trip. You could read Ann of Green Gables on the way there.
The finger lakes region of New York has some wonderful parks and areas. Not far is Niagara Falls, too, which is impressive enough to see once.
If you like amusement parks, the northeast (and particularly Pennsylvania and surrounding areas) have a lot of nice ones. It sounds like that's not your first choice, though, which is perhaps for the better.
