OK, rvshrinker, here is a suggested itinerary: spend two days going from the northwest to Yoho (Kicking Horse Campground). You could do it in one, but it would be tough.
Spend several days to a week there. There is a lot of great hiking in Yoho itself, and it is an easy commute to Lake Louise. I would not camp in Lake Louise -- too much train noise. We left after one night and relocated to Yoho.
Then, I would spend a few days in Jasper. If you had a smaller rig, I would suggest Wilcox Campground, but the spaces in Jasper are bigger. Using Jasper as a basecamp, you can spend time at the Icefields, Edith Covell, Maligne, etc.
If you have another few days, maybe Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. Beautiful place, lots of day hiking available.
Then two days back to home.
Does that sound plausible, without a lot of setting up and taking down the campsite?
