Plan on getting a RV for the U.S., Canada, Alaska, Mexico and beyond and forget shipping it overseas. It's expensive. Either rent if it's to be a short trip or buy one over there if a long trip and sell it upon your return. Or perhaps you could look into renting it out there until your next return.
Europe is made for RVing. Many, many do it.
For the U.S. get something where the kitchen would be suitable for your cooking. Don't skimp on that if that's a passion for you. Definitely get solar panels for your boondocking and move with elevation so you don't need AC. We were successful in doing that when we full-timed.
Here is an excellent blogger who full-timed in the U.S. for many years and then moved to France to be with her father who had medical issues. They sold their U.S. motorhome and bought another RV in France. She's a fantastic photographer and writer and her posts are always great. Very interesting couple who love boondocking and out-of-the-way places.
This blog contains both the U.S. travels and now the European travel. (Top line border has clickies to the U.S. travels.) You might want to start reading at the end of their U.S. life in preparation to moving and continue with their actual move and up until now. In one section she goes over details on selecting their European RV.
She would definitely welcome any questions you may have on buying & RVing in Europe and she's one to welcome a visit from you.
