In the last four years, we have taken our 2003 Winnebago Class C Minnie across country once, and halfway across three times. While driving, the house keeps a reasonable temperature except in extreme temps. In that case, the generator could be run.
We are told by our mechanic that the Ford F-450, as long as maintained, is a very good, reliable engine.
You could just drive the Class C across country, then make a vehicle purchase when you get there. At least, you'll have something to drive (and/or stay in) when you are getting settled. And you'll have your Class C for future travels.
You do not have to get out of the Class C in case of rain or whatever. It would be convenient to sleep in a rest stop or in a store parking lot. (with permission secured by phoning). We often rest at small county/city parks(not campgrounds) during our travels for a mid-day nap, snack and/or walk.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
