With your RV you might consider Mammoth, Madison and Fishing Bridge or Bridge Bay but not Grant.
The far southern part of the park around Grant isn't geared for a lot of siteseeing although there are some nice hiking trails but you could always drive down from the Fishing Bridge area to do those as a day trip.
Your selection of things to see is very doable for the time you're planning in the park and moving from area to area.
Here's a map of showing where the campgrounds are positioned:

If you move south past Grant into Grand Teton Nat'l Park and the Colter Bay area (RV park and also a 300 site campground next door) then you could also do the southern part of Yellowstone (around Grant) from there.
Very advisable not to skip Grand Teton Nat'l Park! It's a beauty and altogether different from Yellowstone. Have a great trip!!
