Recommended RV for National Park Volunteer
Does anyone have recommendations or specific considerations for couples who want to RV in national parks while they do volunteer work for periods of 2 months or more? This couple has never RV'd befor...

The big question is what they plan to do when they are not volunteering, between the two month intervals. Motorhomes are better if moving from place to place often, while a travel trailer or fifth wheel is a lot better at infrequent moves.
I also second the recommendation of looking at all factors (storage, upkeep, etc.) before going a direction.
Were I in this position (mainly stationary in NPs for 2 month intervals, then moving a rig to storage), I'd consider a one ton pickup (for maximum flexibility), and a fifth wheel toy hauler. The fifth wheel has a lot of usable space and will help against being claustrophobic, while the garage in the toy hauler can come in handy, either as additional storage, an added living room, space for another queen bed, or enclosed space for storing a vehicle like a four wheeler.
(edited... weird that it got cut off.)
Of course, another option might be to go with a decent "C" with a few slides and a toad (preferably a 4x4.) Just make sure the "C" has some slide-outs for sanity reasons.
