To the OP, well, ya got 3 years to figure out the options. There are plusses and minuses to different setups, from convienence to mobility to your own comfort level driving or towing large vehicles.
If this is something that is going to happen with relative certainty, you must already enjoy camping, so start now and you can do it more economically if you go the truck and trailer route.
Buy a pickup, then that's out of the way and not a significant cost over having another newer vehicle right now.
Then you can shop for a deal on a good used TT, buy it right, enjoy it for a couple years and then decide if you want to upgrade or go a different route. In the meantime, the you have a (the) tow vehicle and if you decide to upgrade trailers or go with a MH, you can sell the trailer without much depreciation.
The other benefit is you now have a new hobby/opportunity and you wont be a newb when you take the big trip.
Sounds like fun!!
