Are you considering this as something to live in or something to go visit all the United States, and see all the National Parks?
You might also want to consider a small van based class C. Get the gas version. The diesel comes at way to much premium cost for the expensive imported chassis.
A used 2004 - 2010 class C can be found in the $25,000 range, and will have larger tanks than you mentioned, and will be able to carry a couple more 6 gallon tanks of water. You can use a bungy cord and ladder to hang the tanks near the fresh water tank, then siphon the water into the fresh water tank.
With a class C in the 23- 25' long range, it is compact enough to park on a city street while out sightseeing, and in grocery store parking lots. Easier to maneuver and park than the proposed SUV and trailer.
Good luck,
Fred.
