Clean slate - Exploring Aus for a year or two. Vehicle choices

Hi Guys,

A bit of a hard question here, but assuming with the knowledge you assumedly now have from spending time exploring Australia, what vehicle and camper option would you pick if you had a clean slate to start from?

My wife and I are planning a big trip around. Have previously done shorter trips such as Gibb River etc with a dual cab ute and swags. Now we have a toddler and 2 dogs. We have enough passive income to support us indefinitely travelling and we want to make the switch from living in a rented house with 2 normal cars to living full time on the road for a year or two exploring. International exploration is on the cards however we want to do Aus first, mostly because it let's us change our mind at any time and go back to a rented house etc if we get over it or don't end up loving the lifestyle.

We need - Largish living space. 20 - 25ft caravans or the larger Jayco Motorhomes are big enough, as long as they have a distinct separate sleeping area for the toddler, ie. Not converting a dining table to the bed. Any motorhome with a cabover sleeping bed would fit the bill, as do the "family" bunk type caravans.

Also, I am a landscape photographer with my own business, so the primary purpose of the trip is landscape photography, for which it is much, much, much better to be able to park your house really close to the location you want to photograph at sunrise/sunset.

We are really stuck choosing our vehicle/camper type for the trip. We have narrowed it down to three possibilities:

- Large 2WD motorhome towing a small 4wd to explore.

- Large Expedition truck w/ Atv/Mbike

- Large 4WD and large Offroad spec Caravan

There are obviously positives and negatives associated with each, our main issues are that we want to get away from people and see wild australia, and have very little intention of staying in caravan parks etc. However the size of an expedition truck can be a problem, along with the fact that you don't have a comfortable vehicle to take down difficult 4WD tracks, you have to take your whole house with you.

On the other hand, an expedition truck will much more easily be able to do remote overland areas such as the finke etc than towing an offroad capable large caravan.

We only intend to drive an hour or two every few days between stops, allowing plenty of time to explore area's.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Secondly, and this may feel strange, What do most of you actually 'do' once you are at somewhere nice and remote and camping? Obviously swimming, walking etc, but we have so many adventure hobbies that choosing what equipment to take will be difficult! ie. Offroading, boating, scuba diving, etc. I feel like I need to tow another trailer just with all the bits and pieces of equipment...
