My family wants to take a couple of weeks this summer and travel by RV. I need to know where I can find info. on rental fees, mileage fees, campinge fees, etc. Also, any advice on any possible pitfalls and how to enjoy with an 8y/o and 3y/o would be helpful.
Although I'm no great fan of KOA, It sounds like just the thing for your family. Most KOA's have plenty of activities for children.
Since I don't know where you are going to be traveling, I don't know where to suggest you go. My wife & I started in Cherokee,NC, traveled the entire Blue Ridge Parkway and camped at every campground along the way.
The type RV to rent depends upon how comfortable you want to be. Below are the two main RV renters:

If there is one near you, travel to it, look over what they have and discuss every thing in their contract. Milage is a big cost, it's possible to buy extra miles up front. That's cheaper than after the trips over
State parks is a good choice when camping. One in paticular is Fall Creek Falls in Tennessee. Lot's of activities for the kids. I haven't seen that many Jellystone parks lately, but they used to cater to the kids. Below I listed KOA & Jellystone, you can make reservations and check price online.
Good Luck & Happy New Year
