Good advice that I'm really looking at. Even the $355,000 EarthCruiser expedition vehicle is only 653cm (21.42')long and a mere 206cm (6.77') wide! I'd be 244cm (8') wide! Small villages and rural countyside are the reasons I'm going, so I'm looking at the campervans semi-integrated Fiat Ducato motor homes (e.g., Eura Mobil TA 570 HS)that are length/width/height 5.98 m / 2.33 m / 3.19 m. Based on your experience, even these little TA 570 style "class c" vehicles are too big, leaving the campervan. I'm 55 and a bit spoiled for a van, size wise, but I'm not ruling a van out. I'll probably end up buying over there with the buy/ sale back scheme.
Since you are planning to spend a year there, I strongly believe you have family there, meaning you can have the address?
Fiats don't have good opinion even in Europe, while once again - Sprinter motorhomes do have unbelievable prices in US.
My idea of buying Sprinter in Europe and bringing it to US later was just an idea and I never check the pricing, but Sprinter vans in Europe are regularly reported to make 2,000,000 km without overhaul, so even buying older one is not coming with high risk.
Than unlike US - in Europe seem every village blacksmith has Star Diagnosis computer that can troubleshoot Mercedes engines.
