Gabor, I'm not sure if I totally understand what you're looking for. I believe what you call a mobile home, most people call a Recreational Vehicle (RV) in the US. There's a number of companies that do this. The biggest one can be found at CruiseAmerica.com.

Are you looking for a company that will rent you the RV? Or are you looking for more--a company that will give you a map, book campgrounds, provide tickets to amusement places, and so on?

Check with http://www.CamperWorld.com http://www.GoodSamClub.com and http://www.Woodalls.com

There are RV camper caravans, sometimes all from a foreign country such as Netherlands, that travel together through the USA, staying at RV campgrounds and in national parks -- they would be organized in their respective countries.

What months are you going, and how many days you have? RV rentals is easy and common place, Just Google. As for where to go, that depends on your budget, amount of time, and interest. The Northwest is a big area.

I don't think such a company exists. It's really more of a do-it-yourself thing.

Years ago, I used to see all these German families at campgrounds in the Western US. They were all in identical RV's and had a preset route with reservations at various parks. However, I Googled around and couldn't find anyone who provides this service. So I have to agree with #8.
