If you can afford to buy "anything" why not just rent for three months? Saves you a whole lot of hassle. I can't do a cost comparison (rental charge vs. loan payments or cash outlay, taxes, insurance, and possible loss upon sale) but someone else might be able to.
I've done the pop-up route, 5th wheel route and the Super C route. Pros and cons to all. Trucks break down, motor homes break down, TTs, 5ers and pop-ups can break-there's no way to know what will happen. Advantage of two motors (MH + toad) is you have two ways to move. Disadvantage is you have two motors to maintain and 2 times the chances of a break down. Make a chart of what is most important to you, assign point values, add it all up and then use that as a base to make your decision.
