Buy used as there are some great deals out there but save some money for new tires and a full going over by a great RV mechanic. If you go new, stay away from Forest River and check out Born Free, Winnebago or mid price range units.
The beds in most are called "short queens" and they require special sized sheets but unless your over 6'3 it shouldn't matter.
Get one with a slide as the extra room is really nice to have.
We were looking for a smaller Class C last fall and found this one that had less than 7000 miles on it. The owner found that he wanted one that he could park the rig and sight see, so he switched to a 5th Wheel. You might want to think about that. Class As and Cs almost always need to tow car if you plan to do much sightseeing.
And one last thought, its not cheap to RV. It costs about 150.00 to fill the gas tank and your going to get about 8 to 10 MPG Nightly stays average about $35 dollars. The cheapest way to travel is a Honda and Motel 6s. LOL
