I think you're already ahead of the game by coming on this forum first and asking questions. If you had been RVing for years, you would probably know exactly what you wanted in a floor plan and options. Even though you may know what looks right to you, you can quickly find out that something doesn't work after full time use.
The old adage is to buy your last motor home first, but that only works when you intend to keep and use it for many years. Since you're new and not sure if you'll even like the life style, I think you have a good plan. Buy a good used motor home, that you like, try it for awhile and make notes of things you would really like to have. If you enjoy the lifestyle, then start a search for exactly what you like. A good used motor home, purchased at the right price, will depreciate very little if you keep and maintain it in good working order as you plan.
