I should add that I have no experience with landrovers, save what I've viewed and read (not that much).
ihana.com* -* the story of wicked travels through latin america is an example of a pair of guys who did a trip like this in a rover. I would like to play with one some day.
@ sandcruiser: I don't see what the major downsides are to towing a samurai. It doesn't weigh anything. On long highway stretches it's not going to get in the way, and for city driving/parking/dodgy roads it can be detached instantly and you're a 2 truck convoy. On the off chance that you encounter a situation where your bus is somehow truly stuck, the Samurai CAN get out of it and get help or whatever... those things are like quads and a small winch will pull one through a pit of superglue. IMO this just allows you to choose a larger 'basecamp' vehicle, and adds back in the redundancy benefits.
