Like others have said, the floor plan. In our case, our needs were "different" that the usual retirees or families.
My wife's mentally disabled sister lives with us, so we needed two adult sleeping areas that did not have to be "folded up” for daytime use. It had to be travel trailer as we wanted to put our motorcycles in the bed of the truck.
In a way it, made our shopping easier because we had specific needs and it eliminated a lot of units right off. We would enter an RV lot, explain to the salesman what specifics we needed and asked him/her to show us only those units that met our needs. Saved a lot of time. Even had one salesman say: ”We haven’t got anything like that.” Hours saved there.
Floor plan has to be very high on your list. After all, this will be your home and you will be living it. Just not camping for a short time where you can tolerate certain items. For my wife, it was also a walk around bed, not having that, was a deal breaker.
