I have been around twice, once with my parents and sister when I was 9. We went in a popup with no shower, toilet, refrigerator or water heater. We had a great time.
In 2011 I took my wife and son following (for the most part) the same route. We went in our current coach 2008 38' DP with all the amenities. We had a great time.
On both trips we spent very little time in the camper, up early and out the door exploring, home late and to bed for the next days adventures.
It is my opinion the camper you do it in should have little affect on the fun you have. Get what you can afford and is safe, and go have fun.
