Before you buy, rent a coach and take a little trip. You'll learn a lot about what works for you and you must have in an RV. Try to rent a rig similar to the one you are considering. Renting isn't cheap, but could save you a big chunk of change from buying the wrong unit.

We had a 33' gas coach for a few years, and found we could get by with something smaller. Some have had smaller and found that they wanted bigger. The right RV for us has changed as the years and our travel styles evolved. If you don't really need the 2nd bathroom, that

Another thing to consider, especially with a new coach. Dealers tend to push a 20 year loan with a low down payment. The result is you are upside down from day 1 (meaning you owe more than the value). You need to budget for modifications and for repairs after the warranty expires, including new tires in about 5 years.

Keep asking questions here, your friends here have made all the mistakes, myself included. They can help you make good decisions.
