An alternative would be to find an RV park 75 miles away from the Southern calif. area then just plan on driving without your RV then do your sight seeing.
They don't even need to go that far away. Santa Clarita, Simi Valley, Pomona, and Ventura County are as close as 30 miles.
It all depends on the POIs they want to see in So Cal.
And yes, traffic is bad, but the roads are wide for the most part and it's easy enough to just tuck in with the semis to get where you need to go. I would take L.A. traffic over places like Atlanta, Houston, or even Denver where you're packed into two lanes until you get closer to town.
My only point is that I wouldn't write L.A. off just because of the traffic. To me, a bigger turnoff would be the scale and the sprawl. Things are spread all over the place, so it's harder to pick one location for a base camp. Still though, I've known a lot of people who set up camp in Santa Clarita or Pomona and were able to see everything they wanted to see.
