Pay attention to this statement. We got a 28 foot gasser first with the same goal as yours - retire and travel. First season doing weekend trips and 2 week vacations on the road and we decided we really needed something bigger. We ended up spending 6 months in the motor home last winter. It would have been pretty tight in the 28. IMHO, 35 is probably the smallest you want to go.
So, if you do get a 30 something gasser, get an older one that will not depreciate too much in case you to decide you need to go bigger after weekends trips and vacations. I ended up selling the gasser for more that I paid for it (but not quite what I had into it).
