Europe Tour with a Class B. Buy or Rent?

My wife and I are talking about taking off 6 to 12 months to travel around Europe. We are serious campers here in the US and thought it would be great to tour Europe in a Class B. Here are some options we are considering:
1. Rent a Class B in Europe
2. Buy a Class B in Europe, then sell it in Europe at the end of our journey.
3. Buy a Class B in Europe, then at the end of the journey, have it shipped to the US.
Any thoughts on these options?
Thanks!
Class B

    This may be an option.

    While staying at Liberty Harbor, I met a couple from Germany. Their travel plans was to come to the States and buy a B. They would then tour the States and Canada for several months. After their tour they would ship the B from Nova Scotia to Germany. They stated that they could sell the B for more that it cost in the US. They had been doing this several times, ever other year.

    I failed to mention that the couple would book passage on the freighter that was transporting the B
