Another important consideration: Are you willing to pull a towed vehicle? I am not. That limited my length to less than 26 feet, just a number I picked for reasonable ability to park most places. Limiting the length immediately limited the models and floor plan.
I put in the length, price, type, etc in RVTrader and set up alerts. It was nearly a year before a motorhome came up within my distance limits that met my specs.
I would have to buy a vehicle to use for a towed vehicle if I went that route. I crunched a few numbers and decided I could get a LOT of rental car days for the price of a vehicle and set-up. If I were staying in one spot and doing a lot of sight-seeing for a while, a rental car would be the route to go.
