Having made a few moves to different countries, different economies, different cultures, I think for a move like Panama I would think pretty hard about what parts of my lifestyle I would try to take along.

If. you want to have your fiver in Panama, the least expensive way to get it there, with the least red tape, would be to put it on a direct shipment by sea, as part of the household goods you bring as an immigrant. Unless you have some idea about going as a tourist and then later trying to change your immigration status.
If you really need to haul the RV all the way to Panama yourself, be prepared for customs bonding in the countries you pass through, both RV and tow vehicle. If not coming back, you may be forfeiting some of those bonds. No direct experience with Central America, but have been other places where the bond for a vehicle has been as high as the original purchase price.
