Hello, my husband and I are planning a 2-3 month trip across the country this summer with our daughter (who will be 6 months old during the time of the trip) and our 55 lb Australian Shepherd. We are ...

Thanks everyone for your thoughts! Keep the ideas coming :) we would need a separate space for our daughter in the evening so that we don't have to do lights out for everyone at 7:30 pm... So a separate bedroom area is a must. We have a car that can tow 5000lbs but would be open to getting something larger as the car is getting old. And we would rather get a larger car than something small to tow behind an RV.
We would be staying at various locations for 2-5 days.
Another question: how long (approximately) does it take to back in and set up a TT vs a Class A motorbike once arriving at a site?
We have a class C with a rear bedroom with a solid door.
It takes us mere minutes to set up.
Back into site (rarely have pull through sites for the camping we do).
Level, generally raising one set of wheels unless the site is really sloped.
Pull out the lawn chairs.
If we have hook-ups, it takes no time at all to plug in the electric and hook-up a water hose.
We do not worry about the sewer hose until we have to dump tanks.
We both drive the motor home and I strongly feel it is important that each adult can do all the chores involved in operating a RV. You never know where there will be an emergency that incapacitates one of you.
