OF COURSE...personal choice is up to the traveler! However, from my experience (with over 13 round trips) over the Pan American Highway, I personally have found the Truck Camper the most ideal mode for this journey.
I have also done it in a class B, and class A motorhome. The B class would be my second choice, however you do not have the option of disconnecting the camper and going off with the truck, and there are fewer "diesel" class B units available.
I have traveled with others, one even had a 5th wheel,,,which was a disaster, size and the number of flat tires caused on the trailer from debris kicked up from the roadway. Any trailer is also a problem with the on/off at the ferry crossings.
Another consideration is PROPANE, especially if there is a propane generator...this should be converted to gasoline if you plan on using it much...propane is a bit scarce in areas. If you conserve, it will not be a problem, there are stations to refill.
