Plan to 'do' Tombstone on the weekend when it's a little more 'festive'. Tombstone only requires 1/2 day. It's nothing but shops and a few restaurants.
Kartchner Caverns has a wonderful state park campground with modern, large electric sites in a very scenic setting. It's a 30-minute drive to Tombstone. The Rotunda Throne Room is a great cave tour. There are many RV parks in Benson, also, and it would be a lot warmer in January in Benson than in Tombstone. Tombstone is worth seeing - once.
Also plan to visit Bisbee and Chirichuha Nat'l Park, Amerind Foundation Museum, Cochise Stronghold, Patagonia Lake State Park, the many surrounding canyons for hiking and viewing birds, and the Sandhill Crane Festival in Willcox in January.Sierra Vista is a modern mid-size town with all the stores needed. Fort Huachuca is there and has a nice tour. Have a good trip! It's a neat area especially if you like hiking or four-wheeling. If you do geocaching there are hundreds of them in the area that will take you to great places you'd never think of going.
