I'm so new I don't even have an RV
....But thinking about it if I can figure it all out. My wife is retiring this May and we are contemplating our first RV. Too much to process, so it will probably be fall before we take any action...

Ok a couple of things no one has mentioned,,,,
Have you got any experience towing?
Do you have any type of truck now?
My reason is that you may want to rent a trailer and take a trip or two if you currently have a truck capable of towing. If you dont have towing experience, you may find that you dont like it, or that a Motorhome may be a better fit for you.
Since your original post did not indicate nerves over finances, I'm guessing that a couple of rental trips to break the ice are not out of reach.
On the trucks, modern 3/4 ton gassers are capable of 12-15K lbs towing, and as much as 3000 payload which covers a lot of 5er's. With diesels offering even more, You should have plenty to choose from in many lines and configurations. But towing a fifth wheel is different than just driving, I'd suggest some wheel time to make sure your comfortable, and maybe even renting a motorhome to give yourself something to compare to.
