Maybe the first thing I would think about is deciding if a Motorhome will be better for your desired type of camping. Many campers love driving about 1/2 to 1 day and setting up camp. There they spend time enjoying the out of doors, the water, the fresh air etc. The travel trailer might be better for that camper.
We, on the other hand, rarely spend more than 1 night in any location. We are very happy driving every day and seeing new country or visiting friends or relatives several hundred miles away. We find that a motorhome suits us better. We merely unplug the electric and start the motor and away we go. We rather take the motorhome when we site see. Some may wish to pull a TOWED and use that for site seeing. We might find something we like better at the end of the day and do not want to return to our previous night campground.
If you have already decided this, then read many of the topics in this forum to help you decide what you want in a motorhome. Going shopping at the dealerships makes sense. Ditch the salesman and spend at least a 1/2 hour pretending like you are going to sleep, go to the bathroom, get dressed, take a shower, or fix something to eat. That will give you some ideas on floorplans.
Best of Luck
