Full-timing in a camper + TT
Instead of asking small bits and pieces which could be taken with wrong contexts, I've decided to post our potential plan. Hopefully you guys can tell me if this will work or not. I'll get the budg...

Acei, you are doing well and willing to accept some of the information and understand that you need to sometimes tighten the mainsail and try a different tack. Not everyone that comes here, and there are many, can appreciate that.
I myself got my first RV, a TC, in 2008. But like you I started watching this forum in 2004. But, never started asking questions until 2008. So many of us are just like you, checking the possibilities. For now it is good to have a Big Picture of what your goals are, but you can be trying to solve some issues that will evolve as your adventure begins. Though, some just like to lock the front door and have their RV delivered and engine running and they step on board. So be it.
There are some very experienced people here and many of them are on this thread. Bedlam, Kohldad, Steve in 29, PhotoMike, Jefe4X4 to just name a few. It is really up to you to determine who provides the answers that best fit, YOUR needs. Not what they have done and or doing. As for Full-timing, there are very few that do that. But two of the best things I was told by others to be successful in Fulltiming is;
1. Find things that made you comfortable at home and try to have them with you in your TC,
2. Take trial runs for shakedowns, in all weather/seasons before cutting the cord.
I would also suggest you check out Truck Camper Magazine , Truck Camper Adventures and Dave & Cindy Gilbert's Blog
Personally, what you are describing might be better with a well equipped Class C, pulling a very capable Dingy/Toad for variety of road conditions and adventures. It just seems you are planning on a lot of variables that have redundant uses. With your dingy, you can outfit it (since money does not seem to be an issue) with Overland Capabilities or just a Dodge Truck with a small Pop-Up Camper like a Hallmark, Outfitter and or FWC (Four Wheel Camper).
What you are planning is definitely doable for some, with the right preparation and planning.
Good luck and have fun.
