Buying a Motorhome not a mechanic

For most motorhomes it's entertain 6, feed 4, sleep 2. and you would need a toad for side trips. Would you be better off with a 4 door pickup or a full size van and pull a bunk bed travel trailer. Have you rented a TT or Motorhome to see which would work best for your family. Ever camped before? Are you sure this is what the family wants to do.
