If from central or western PA, consider Letchworth State park or Watkins Glen State Park in New York. They offer both hiking and scenery in spades.
In New Hampshire, the White Mountains have a lot to offer...many options in that area, and I'm not sure I can offer too many specific suggestions. The "Kanc" (Kancamagus highway, NH 112 between Lincoln and Conway) is a very lovely road to go over, with many scenic pull-outs with views or hikes or walks. Conway/North Conway is a bit of a mess to drive through, at times more than a bit of a mess, however.
Depending on your route, it may be a good bit more than five hours between the New York stop and the New Hampshire stop. This is absolutely the case for the parks in the Finger Lakes that I mentioned above; it's close to five hours to the Vermont border from them, maybe a bit less to the Massachusetts border.
If you haven't gone anywhere in your RV yet (assuming you aren't renting), I'd suggest making a smaller trip to begin with, possibly to your own driveway or possibly a little bit farther than that. If you're not too far away, Knoebels might be a reasonable option.
