RV for Central America Trip

Hi,
We are taking our kids (ages 5, 7, 11) on a one year trip in an RV from NY to Panama. We have looked at various different RVs out there and we want to make sure the RV is big enough to fit us and and the same time make sure it is not too big for the central american roads. We feel somewhere around 25"-26" is probably our best bet.
We have found these two that have the best floor plans that we liked.
What do you think of them?
Is one better from the other?
Will they survive this trip?

Will your family survive the trip? Those are pretty tight accommodations for 5 people. Where are you going to stuff all your things for a year? Class C's have lousy storage. You'd have a better chance of success in a Class A. Are you a good mechanic for when your RV takes a dump?

Are your kids really willing to leave their friends and activities for a year? I remember taking month long trips as a kid because dad wanted to visit his family out of state. My brother and I wanted to stay home with our friends.
