Very few RV'ers get to their happy place the first time they buy. Likely the best suggestion will be to go to each of the individual sub-forums in this huge forum, and read as much as you can. Look through all the first must read stickies at the front of each forum and at all the pictures. Read the stories extensively, many are trip reports and talk about what they take, how they use their rig, where they can go and where not to go.
Get some ideas about what will work for you, then go looking in RV shows, used RV places, and examine construction, take notes, then come back to the forum and put in your findings and ask questions.
Remember, you are not buying, just learning. Salesmen are excellent at selling, and will offer you deals that will seem over the moon. Do not be swayed.
After a year or two of looking and learning, if your choice has become clearer, consider buying a smaller unit first.
