I would recommend allocating at least 1 to 2 hours to walk through the entirity of the museum/library. There's a lot of information available, and it'll take awhile to view and review it all. Plus, they present a ~20 minute video about Hoover's life, which can be helpful to gain some insight before walking through the museum.

I think you will find plenty of parking for RV pulling vehicle. There are two different parking lots as there are two major buildings and some smaller ones between the two. Should be able to park easily in either parking. And can walk between the two areas easily if you don't want to move your rig from one area to the other. We parked at visitor center and then walked over to the other main building catching a couple of other smaller houses in between. The path was suitable for handicap walking if needed. Enjoy.
