While I don't live in an RV and travel to remote locations I do live out in the country where my nearest neighbor is 3 miles away and the sheriff may be 30+ minutes away. Living out on the plains of the southern panhandle there is no real cover between my house and maybe miles away. If the cotton is up then there is concealment within a few yards. So other than being a permanent, known location structure I am in a similar situation.

You have a good start with a very capable sidearm. I agree that a stand-off weapon might be useful. As TAM mentioned, if someone is lobbing rounds my way from 200 yds. I want the capability to reply in a likewise manner. There also something about stepping out the door with a long gun cradled in your arms while the unexpected visitors are getting out of their vehicle that changes the direction of the conversation. It may not always be the best tactic but it is an attention getter.

I would suggest a bailout bag or tactical vest. Not to replace a 72 hr BOB (which are good to have) but to have something that you can grab quick and give you a basic loadout if you have to evacuate the RV. A couple of spare mags, some water, IFAK, and maybe an emergency blanket. Just something to give you mobility and a little support. You can come up with a light inventory to suit your needs. An RV doesn't allow for much cover so having the ability to be mobile is a plus.

It sounds like the dog is a good early warning system. You may consider solar powered motion lights or driveway alarms for a perimeter. It could be easy to get carried away and get to concertina and trip lines so be careful not to fall down the rabbit hole. You'll have to decide what is needed, what is practical, and what you want to mess with.

It's hard to make any specific recommendation because you alone know where you'll be and what you'll need. Hopefully we can provide suggestions and get you thinking. Welcome to the forum.
