How fun! I think for what you want your starting budget is a bit low. Yes you can find units that might fit the bill in that range but I thing the reliability won't be there. I also wouldn't lose any sleep over resale value. You will already be doing everything you can to hedge plummeting value by going with one that is already depreciated. Best of luck to you both!
Two Jayhawks has good advice and realistic overall perspective on RVing.
My thoughts:
1. Class A's sounds like it would meet many of your needs for your touring activities.
2. Unfortunately your current financial funds at this time will be a real limiting factor in your search for a "reliable diesel Class A'. You migh get lucky and find a Class A from a private party who for personal or medical reasons have to give up RVing. You might find a class A for $50K but it will be older and probably need some repairs or have continued maintenace issues
3. Diesel engines is the only way to go IMHO and experience. You also have plenty of pulling power.
4. An alternative plan:
a. keep your current trailer or take a look at the Lance trailers.
b. then buy a new or used Dodge Diesel truck 2500 min. ideal 3500. No disrespect to Fords or Chevy trucks.:)
c. Save some more $$$$$ until you can afford the Class A you really want:)
b.
