For someone new I think lower price RVs are something to shy away from if your looking at keeping the RV long term. That may not be true for more experienced folks who know what they are looking at. I believe this is definitely true for used but also for new RV.
We purchased our class C used (a better brand). We too were RV rookies (after 4 years still a rookie). I wanted a RV simple to drive and work. No slides and not to long. We went with a five year old RV from one of the more respected builders. That was almost 4 years ago. I do not regret the decision. The biggest difference is in what you do not see. I have helped a few friends winterize and do minor work on their RV that were newer but cost about the same. Water lines were smaller. Electrical equipment and plumbing were not secured to framing and counters as well. This is stuff you can not change without taking walls and floors apart. Issues that will cause ratels and very likely other trouble down the road.
The wife and I camp often with our daughter who is in grad school. We own a 2007, 26.5' RV. We camp mostly at State and Federal camps near home, in VA and MD. But have gone on several longer trips.
