My advice is to try out these trips before you buy anything.
You can probably take you bike to any long-distance event with the vehicle you currently own.
I recommend you try a few of these events this year. Sleep in your vehicle if you can, but worst case get a hotel.
If you are into it, and you think that you will continue to do these types of trips, then you can consider getting a proper vehicle or a trailer.
I personally have a full size van so I can fit my bike inside and I can sleep in it too.
