I think you would not be happy for long in a small tt and truck. For 1 , your concept is to travel to NParks, which have limited services. In that scenario you will want larger water capacities and battery banks than a compact tt has. For life and flexibility in an RV storage and capacity outweighs purchase savings on a smaller unit and fuel. Remember, parking costs are the same.
No to MH. fuel mileage will not be better than a tt truck combo, complexity depreciation, insurance, duplication of driveline all raise the cost of what you are contemplating. MHs are perfect for a lot, not for a single moving occasionally
If I were to do ( Oh wait, I did! ) what you wish, find a 20-26' TT, with good weather capability, a 1/2 T pickup or van with a V 8
The cost trade off will be negligible, savings in site fees in less serviced campsites more than offset the fuel and higher purchase cost.
