I guess need to ask a few questions before giving advice.
1. Use? Weekending vacations, or retirement part time/full time
2. Ever towed a trailer before?
3. Empty nesters, or Family.
4. Love to cook, or like eating out.
40' is a good size unit if you haven't towed before. If you have and have the desire for some space then why not.
40' depending of construction can weigh between 14,000# to 20,000#, looking for sure at 350/3500 to 450/4500 TV.
Good luck on your search, and Welcome.
