I don't mean this in a snarky manner but do a search of the forum and then spend some time reading threads. Your questions are far too broad to get a good answer.
TT are usually the cheapest option and can be towed with the lightest duty truck. Set up properly they tow fine but never as nice as a 5th wheel.
5th wheels are slightly more expensive and you typically need a bigger truck (cargo capacity aka: Pin Weight is usually the controlling factor) but there's really not much to "set up" so they pretty much always tow great. They trade space in the truck bed for more space in the 5th wheel cargo compartments. In the end, it's usually a wash.
Motorhomes depend on the type and quality but typically is a more expensive option compared to TT or 5th wheel (often by a wide margin). A top of the line bus conversion drives great. A bottom of the line Class A can be a horror to drive. Storage is all over the board and you typically have to tow anyway since most don't want to pack up the RV every time they run up to the store or leave the park.
Security: If you camp where you are worried about security...find someplace else to camp. We lock the door but if I didn't care about damaging the door, it would take me under 30 seconds to pry the door open. For the most part, it's a non-issue.
Walmart: For a quick overnight, it's fine (though we don't do it). Ask in the store to be polite. They may be less inclined towards letting you drop the trailer and drive off for site seeing but I wouldn't worry too much about the trailer being stolen (even less with a 5th wheel as most trucks don't have the hitch).
