I travel with my dog. Back in 2006 my wife had passed away years before and left me my first travel dog. I wanted to do the Alcan Highway so I bought a TT and did it with my dog. After a lot of tent camping prior to getting an RV. The TT was like a condo on wheels. But life changes with time if we are still around.
Now that you are leaning towards a MH. You have to decide on a class A or a class C. I did the TT to a class A. A wonderful floor plan. But I could not get past the one door out and the number of steps at the door as I got older. I ended up with my current class C. It has several draw backs. Like lack of kitchen counter space and a toilet that is too high. But the driver’s door makes up for that. It is so nice to just hop out and see what you are doing or get gas. Also the cab over shields you from the sun while driving and is a great storage place. Plus only two steps to get in from the coach door.
Most are on a Ford chassis if a gasser. Not a Ford chassis guru, far from it in fact. But make sure it has Tow/Haul mode. My 2010 chassis does.
Why? Because on downgrades the engine and transmission help to slow the rig down or at least minimize the braking required in Tow/Haul mode. Out west that is a real blessing.
I have a Blue Ox tow setup. It is very easy to hook up or disconnect once you figure out how to do it. When it wears out I will get one that works on surge while stopping. I do not remember the name. Nothing beats pulling in to a one night pull through spot in the rain and just going back, relax, making supper. Then going to bed without leaving the MH.
