Road trip with the wife

Hi there,

My wife and I are planning to take a 8 days long road trip in December from Houston, Texas - San Antonio - Marfa - Big Bend - White Sands, NM and back from there.

Questions that might help me make some decisions and help plan the trip:

1. Is it realistic to do this course in 8 days or am I being very ambitious.
2. We plan on renting a small RV or a pop up camper. I have never rented either. What would be recommendable? Any ideas where I should be renting this from? I drive a Subaru Outback 2.5, 2016 model would it be recommendable to use that and renting a pop up camper or a tear drop?
3. We plan on staying on the road pretty much the whole time. Please let us know if this is even a good plan considering it will be cold. What kind of places would be recommendable to stay?
4. Also looking for some advice of what route might be advice able on the way back, if any?
5. I looked up some small RV options on outdoorsy.com - https://www.outdoorsy.com/rv-rental/spring_tx/2009_forest-river_forester_42666-listing?from=2019-12-26&to=2020-01-01 and another website: https://www.cruiseamerica.com/rent/rentFrame.aspx?ddlLocations=TX&ddlLocationsForCity=TX%2CLOC430%2CCONu&start_date=12%2F26%2F2019&pickup_time=DEFAULT&end_date=01%2F02%2F2020&return_time=DEFAULT&HotDealsCode=&allOptions=&pickup_state=TX&pickup_loc=000430&pickup_date=12%2F26%2F19&return_date=01%2F02%2F20&show_rates=1&ltd_avail_phone_no=800-671-8042&block_down=&block_return=1 , small trailer- https://www.cypressrvrental.com/availability/

Any advice and recommendations are appreciated in advance.
