Keep the TC for your first trip or two so you can make quick whirlwind trip of the states to get a glimpse of as much as you can. Then when you think you are ready to slow down, get a 26-30' TT to tow behind the TC. That way you have the larger rig to relax in but can still get off the beaten path for a night or two get away. That's our plan soon. Figure 2 or 3 years in the TC then will revisit where we are. Right now, we just enjoy having everything with us all the time. And I say this only a week after a 3 week 3,800 mile trip where we spent every night in a different campground except for two nights in Sleeping Bear Nat Lakeshore because it was a holiday weekend.
