A few thoughts for you as you shop. Make sure you get a good hitch, something like the Equalizer and a good brake controller like the Prodigy. Some dealers will cheap out on these with a lower cost unit, pay the extra money and don't get a friction sway control bar.
Verify your hitch rating. It should be right on the hitch itself. Check the owners manual and if necessary go to your Honda dealership they can check on the details with your VIN.
Over the years I've seen to many that made a quick jump to buy (usually posting here after the bought and not before) and then they are forced to buy a bigger truck. There is no such thing as a perfect RV, they all have some flaws from the manufacturer and some have a lot.
When your ready to buy download a PDI (pre-delivery inspection) worksheet, you can find one here. About the only thing I'd add to it is to take 5 gallons of gas if it has a fuel station and pour gas in and pump it out to make sure the pump works. Finally do the PDI before you sign off on any purchase or loan paperwork. Dealers work fast to fix problems before the sale, but after it becomes a warranty and it's now up to the manufacturer to approve the work.
Happy shopping & camping!
