It will be two of us for about 12 months. This is how long I have been told a meth user needs to be clean to have any kind of chance. A woman and her son. I don’t have any experience with motor homes. Thinking of truck and 5th wheel.

If you’re doing this to stay away from meth… it’s probably the wrong thing, because those are just the kind of people you’re going to be meeting at campgrounds and traveling…

I’ve always wanted to cross the states with friends in a VW bus. Finding one that is in road-trip condition is another matter, but should be easier on the pocket book. I would recommend that you sign up with AAA before you take such a trip and have emergency supplies and pre-paid cell phone in case you were to have a breakdown. The VW bus comes in several models and you can check consumer reports for which one has the better repair/reliability record.
If the space is too confined a simple 5th-wheel popup camper would be a safe bet too. You can find these on craigslist.org all the time for relatively low $$. Then all you need is something fuel efficient and reliable that is capable of towing a light load.
Good luck and plot a route that doesn’t leave you stranded from service stations for 100s of miles.

Tell me if this is your plan ?
You’re going to spend a year on the road with your son .
The purpose of the vehicle is both transportation and shelter
It is high desirable that you spend the maximum amount of nights being sheltered by the vehicle because doing so will strictly limit the potential for mischief that spending nights in a town could result in.
Therefore the vehicle in question needs to be able to be lived in for weeks at a stretch
Do I have most of that right ?
America has some three dimensional roads that will really get your attention if driven in inclement weather -even more so if you’re towing a trailer.
Personally I would get a Class C Motorhome .
Good Luck -

The advantage of a pickup and either 5th-wheel or bumper-pull is that you can take the RV to the place you are staying, unhitch, and go into town to get supplies. The disadvantage is having to learn to park the RV: some places that you will be in will have pull-thrus, others will not, so you will need to learn how to back it properly.
The advantage of a motorhome, is that you don’t have to learn to back up.
Disadvantages are that you have to drive the RV all over the place, unless you get a smaller car/truck to hook to the back.Try to stay in State and National Parks. I have camped (RV, and tent, both) in State and National parks and have never had a problem with bad neighbors.
Most State/National parks, however, have a 14-day limit for stays. The costs are pretty reasonable, though.
Size – you need to get one big enough so that you will not go bats when you have to stay inside for days at a time, but get the smallest one you can live with. The smaller it is, the less fuel you will use.
Make sure that if you plan on going into rough country, you get a trailer/RV that has a high enough road clearance to get you in and out.
There are many RV rentals. My suggestion is to try several out for at least a week, before you buy.
Join Good Sam, or AAA, or one of the other RV clubs.
Good luck, our prayers go with you

A truck and a 5th wheel is a good idea, so is a truck/van/suburban and a trailer. You could also get a Class C, they are really nice. You can get a small one and they have a bed over the driver and passenger seats plus a bed in the back. I have always wanted a Class C, but there are 5 in my family, so a Class C was to small. They are pretty easy to drive, because they are smaller than motor homes. The smallest motor home I have seen is a 24′, which could be easy to drive. You could also go to a RV dealership, and they should be able to help you out. When we decided to travel the US for 2 1/2 years, we went to a RV dealership, and they helped us out so much. Another option is a pop up camper, but they are a lot of work if you are traveling for about 1 year. We only used ours on week long trips. I hope this helps, and good luck on your travels!!! Have a great day!!!
Dave M, that is the biggest lie. I traveled the US for 2 1/2 years, and I never met anyone with meth, or any kind of drug problems. I met a lot of people that are really good friends with. I still stay in contact with them.
Lora W, that is so cool. We traveled with my parents, my 2 brothers, 3 cats, and a dog.
