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.

BAD IDEA!
At least how your leaning. As a full timer yoir going to want eating, sleeping, and work space in addition to a decent bathroom, plus sufficient closet space for clothes. Then there is storage space for stuff. What you looking at might be OK for a weekend when the weather is good. But what if you get stuck for a few days of cold rain? Your going to be stuck inside.
As a single person, start looking for a motor home, something around 30 feet or more. This will give you enoigh room to be comfortable and have plenty of storage. You also need to consider laundry facilities. Laundrymats can be really inconvient long term. No one wants to spend one day a week sitting someplace while your clothes get washed whwn you could be out enjoying life.
If you go a MH route be sure to budget in a toad. Not a frog, but a small car you can tow behind. This will allow you to park and have a small car to move around in.
BTW ALL are RVs, whether it is a motor home, truck camper, travel trailer or a fifth wheel, ALL are a RV.

As an additional thought, if you are thinking you can visit all of the places you have listed in 7 months you need to do a serious rethinking of your plans. Alaska is completely out of the question in that time frame and you will only be able to scratch the surface of some of your other destinations in 7 months.
