Not a discouragement, but something to think about...
Have you priced the Class C yet? (don't forget to add mileage if it's more than the contract allows) Now add the price of fuel at 8 mpg. Are you prepared for those expenses?
If so, you may consider possibly purchasing a tow behind. (assumsing you have a vehicle that you can tow it with) This would allow you to get comfortable using the RV before you take the BIG trip, and when you return home you can always sell the trailer. (assuming you haven't become hooked by then, lol) This would give you a vehicle for sight seeing and other running where you may not want to take a Class C.
Either way, I say go for it. Good or bad it will be a family bonding experience that you will remember for the rest of your lives.
