Good advice so far on tow vehicle/trailer choices. You have much to learn before buying your first RV. Do much reading here on the issues before letting the dream of lounging in exotic/idealic locations.
Also consider that RV trailers are not like autos with a Govt. mandated window sticker with actual factual information on it. It may have a sticker but it means nothing. Most trailers sell at a 25-30% discount of the actual price, problem is getting actual pricing information not something made up by a dealer.
Also know that RV warranties are no where in the same league as automobile warranties. They are given by the manufacturer and a dealer can honor them or not, only the maker of the RV is obligated and RV dealer networks do not really exist in a manner consistent with the auto industry. RV components also have individual warranties covered by the makers of those components not necessarily by the RV maker. RV warranties are generally limited to 12 months also.
All of these things must be factored into a purchase decision. After you choose a floorplan you like you will figure out that virtually every maker has the same floorplan in many different brands at different price points. Price is not indicative of build quality and is more closely associated with fluff accessories.
When you have an idea of what you want and a price range seek financing from different sources just like you would when buying an auto. DO NOT turn over ANY money until everything about the new trailer is exactly like you want it. That cash is the best motivator for a dealer to do what you want. There are many good PDI checklists available on this forum for doing the final inspection of a RV before giving a RV dealer money.
