"In a few weeks" and you may encounter snow, even if you don't venture into the mountains. If you've never driven anything larger than a pickup truck, this may not be the best time or place to learn about driving an RV.
You're going to a tough time finding open campgrounds. Some state parks have winter sites available, but only with electric hookups. Filling your water tank might take some creative planning. Plus, many "tourist" spots are now closed for the season.
All-in-all, I'd advise against your plan. Ski resorts start opening in the next month and that's what us locals are looking forward to. If we want to camp this time of year, we head to southern Utah or Arizona. Plan a Colorado trip sometime from mid-May through the end of September next year.
Might I advise heading south to places like Missouri or Arkansas and find a Corp of Engineers park that's open. Maybe there are hills and not mountains, but there's still beautiful scenery and plenty to explore.
