We just decided recently to go full-time. We're considerably older than you, but my advice is DO IT! Not a better time!
We looked at all the RVs mentioned, and our theory, as with buying cars/pickups, is if there's a lot of them on the resale market, there must be something wrong. I know a lot of people here disagree with us, so be it. We bought a used Open Range -- 34 foot. I'd suggest, if you can do it, buy a larger one -- you don't know when your family may increase in size. :) As for the Open Range.........neither of us have been happier with a rig!!!!! The kitchen layout is the easiest to work in kitchen I'v ever had. Everything about this rig is top of the line. I understand they've been bought out this last spring so I can't vouch for the new ones. My understanding is the new company will accommodate the older rigs and be as good as the old ones. There is an Open Range forum, too. We scoured it before buying and found that most of the problems were in the trailer line.
Good luck and thank you for your service!!
