I have a few years and I am thinking about 2 different approaches. One is buy a rig now in the coming year or so and tool around in it to get to know what I want and need 1st hand and then buy the "real" rig for full timing in a couple of years. Or wait 2 or 3 years and buy the full time rig right off the bat, be weekend warriors in it for a few years before going out full time. We won't be full time for 5 years so I do have options, thus the posting now.
Since you won't be full-timing for 5 years I think you're too early to decide on what you want. Things are going to change in 5 years - either with the kinds of RVs out there or else with your plans.
I'd look seriously at the 2016 models and pick out a few that would suit you. Then in 5 years you could search for those models. They'd be 5 years old and if it's a high quality DP you'd be saving a LOT of money but getting the best there is.
I think for all your 'wants' you are looking at a very expensive DP for buying now, 5 years before you really need it.
