Research, research. It will take time and a lot of reading. The "best" rV for you might not be what the other person finds important. When I purchased my Carriage Cameo in 2012 I researched 5ers for over 6 months. I love my unit and have had near zero problems. I wanted a 4 season unit, constructed well and had good capacity. It is too bad they are out of business. Be sure you can tow what you get, maintain it well, and don't abuse it. Check ratings.
I also think Carriage make the best built RV. Maybe that is why they are out of business.
ALL RV have a life expectance of about 10 years. That is 1/2 die before age 10. Some live to a "ripe" old age.
Purchase a floor plan you like and take care of it, maybe it will live to a ripe old age. The only thing that kill RV is water. It is the cancer of RV. What is to go wrong with a RV? Maybe a water pump, or a microwave. Easy to fix
