Cheers guys,
Possible option of just getting an RV and seeing where the wind takes us! Although im cautious of where you are allowed to park them etc!
Cheers again

I've never been to the states, but I have done lots of RVing in Canada, here are some tips that hold true everywhere I've been.
You can park for free overnight in most Walmart parking lots, just double check at customer service, so you don't get a ticket.
As for during the day, it's probably easier to park at the far end of any parking lot, less chance of accidents. Some places might have signs about where you are supposed to park a larger vehicle or a time limit, other than that it shouldn't be a problem.
If your RV has a toilet, only go #1 in it, and have a plan of where you are going to dump it. There are facilities at most camp grounds/RV parks and at some gas stations/truck stops. Also it will stink if it is hot out.
Make sure nothing breakable is left on the counter or table, the first corner you go around it will probably end up on the floor, and broken. Same goes for on the ground, it will slide across the floor if it has a smooth surface.
It is nice to have an RV, you can stop at a rest spot or parking lot and have lunch or take a nap.
Make sure when you are going around corners take them a bit wide, remember there is a bit more behind you than in a car.
It's a fun way to travel. I like it more than staying in hotels.
KOA's are normally a bit more expensive than other camp sites.
