When are you going? It’s an awfy busy place in summer, but I think most sites are fine. I’d look at getting a central one to radiate out from - the island is bigger than it looks. If you go to a coastal one, great views but you’ll be driving the same road back to it every day.
I’ve usually self catered for a week near Sligachan (central & very famous hotel) because some roads are too narrow for comfortable driving in our MH, but you’ll be fine in yours.
Include a day on Raasay - go over on foot & if you like poetry, read “Hallaig” by Sorley MacLean before you go: a lament for the Clearances, with birch trees likened to the girls in the township of Hallaig now gone.
Maybe take a boat from Elgol over to Loch Coruisk (not for walking unless you’re experienced, as “the bad step” is well named) & come back the same way. (There’s a brilliant YouTube of the Scottish cyclist taking his bike over & cycling up to the top, with excellent music. Can’t remember names, might post later.)
Great place for geology but that might not be your interest - Red Cuillins glow red at sunset, Black Cuillins go coal black, but they look the same during the day (jaggy, very unlike Mull).
You could also make an interesting loop of it, make more of the trip, by taking the ferry over from Mallaig & coming back on the bridge. I’m not sure the tiny private ferry at Glenelg is still operating. (Drovers used to swim the herds of Highland cattle over that route, heading to the trysting fair at Falkirk).
Sorry for all that. Hopefully some is useful to you, DK.

Very useful at Fiona W, thank you!
Currently, I am planning for mid July 2024.
However, I just checked the school holidays calendar for Scotland as I remembered they are different to England and Wales, good job too as mid July = school holidays!!!
So, I shall plan for mid June 2024 to avoid the school holidays, or in August 2024 after the schools have re-opened.
Not sure if I would feel comfortable driving in very narrow single track roads with my van though.
