Do a lot of research, looking and learning.
Plan to atend a RV show, see lots of options.
Once you get close to deciding on a model/manufacture, come back here for opinions.
Make sure you have enough tow vehicle.
Get to know your local dealers, many times a RV will need warranty work, and a good dealer may make or break your satisfaction of first RV ownership.
Get out and make adventures!

Good stuff pointed out there. I would add a few to that.
(1) How many are going to be using the camper (2 adults, adults with kids) ? The answer to this may help you in deciding on a floor plan
(2) Where are you going to be camping the most? (hot weather, cool weather) that will help in deciding what type of R-Value you will need on the camper. That will also help determine if you need additional AC or heat strips.
(3) Based off the answer to #2 you will also be able to determine how long the camper can.
(4)Consider if you want to carry bikes, firewood, and other item. You may need a cargo carrier for them.
Find a floor plan you like, shop that floor plan (none will be perfect)talk to dealers with a good reputation.
