It's nice to have a dream to travel in an rv across the country. But, you can't 'overlook your safety' in doing that.
VA to WA can be done in days . If I already had a reliable vehicle to make this trip to relocate, I would just do that with so many 'pet friendly' motels across the country. If I didn't, I would lease a new vehicle or rent one for the week to make the trip.
You would be able to plan safe places to stay opposed to just landing in an unknown place during a breakdown which could be 'many weeks' depending how long it takes to get an appointment then wait for parts.
A breakdown could cost you 'weeks of time' , waiting for an appointment then waiting for parts. You would have to motel it and have a rental car expense for weeks instead of 5 days.
Once you settle into a new residence, you can then save and plan to take your cross country rv trip. I would then rent one, a new one.
