Aside from the comments of your childs schooling....
I would recommend a motorhome over a travel trailer.. we've don't it both ways and the motorhome is by far easier than the truck/trailer combo. But be prepared for expense which ever way you decide. Do as someone else mentioned, go to an rv show and look at them and find what will meet your needs. Remember, you are not talking about a weekend getaway or a week long trip. You are talking permanently. You can spend more and get a new RV with a warranty or you can spend less and hope you have no costly issues. It's a gamble either way. Then if you decide on a trailer, go look at trucks big enough to pull that trailer...unless you are getting something really small, better look at 3/4 ton trucks. How often are you gonna move around? That will also make you decide on what you want to take with you. If you get a motorhome and want to tow the Yaris, then you will need to spend around $3000 to set it up for flat towing or $1500-2000 for a tow dolly to pull it. Or you could just have your 17 yr old drive it and follow you from place to place. Daily cost? Depends on where you are at. You can go out to BLM land in the desert and pretty much stay free, but you will need to move around every 2 weeks and you won't have any amenities. Or you could go to a resort at myrtle beach and stay on the beach with full hookups, pay for 3 months and get the 4th free with an average cost of less than $20/night.
So to answer your question of how much, there's no answer....how much are you going to spend on your rv and tow vehicle...where are you going to stay and what will it cost you...how often are you gonna move and how far....
What RV park in Myrtle Beach were you referring to? Thanks
