According to the Marine Hwy, Gustavus is the gateway community for Glacier Bay. They have a run from Juneau, and one RV campground.
The boat is a smaller LeConte. Like most Ak boats it has side port and stern ramp.
Size constraints can be found at https://dot.alaska.gov/amhs/doc/02_010B.pdf
So it looks like you can get close enough to take day excursion boats (or plances). But be flexible on times, and be prepared to pay a lot for that size of RV.
If you aren't already planning on going down or up the inside passage (Washington - Junean - Haines or Skagway), a good alternative would be to cross Prince William Sound, Whittier to Valdez. That passes by tide water glaciers (but local excursions may be needed to get close), and can easily be part of a scenic loop of South Central Alaska (with Anchorage as 'base').
