$120-140K should get you into a new class A gas motorhome. While they all have quality issues, how the manufacturer and dealer support you during the initial debugging process is important. On that issue, IMO, your best bet would be either Newmar or Winnebago for a new gasser.
That same amount of money would get you into a nice used quality diesel pusher. Diesel is a good bet if you really plan to travel a lot.... more power, better ride, more towing capacity, more cargo capacity. Keep in mind that all these things have issues at times but if you shop carefully and are diligent, you can get a nice gently used well maintained used coach. In used DP's, Country Coach, Monaco, Beaver, Travel Supreme, Newmar's higher end coaches, are examples of higher end, quality rigs. For example, there is a 2008 County Coach Allure listed for $135K on Motorhomes of Texas website. That one is 42' so longer than you desire but an example of a quality coach with a lot of features in your price range.
Regardless of whether you buy new or used, be prepared to fix stuff. IMO, owning any motorhome and using it much is not for anyone who isn't handy with tools. It is just part of the game.
