If this is going to be your first RV I'd think about buying used or renting a few times to see if this is what you really want to do or not. And you would have an idea what is important to you floor plan wise and accessory wise.
Good advice! So many times the 2nd rig you buy is the one you really want. You learn with your first one. Is this the size I need? Does this floorplan work for us? Do we have enough storage? Our first rv was a tt with a center kitchen, and very little counter space. I thought that I could make it work. Soon found out that I couldn't. Our present rig is a 5th wheel with a rear kitchen. Much better suited to us. (We full-time.) Do NOT buy the first one you fall for. Look, look, look. Hit RV shows if you can. Sit in the rig, pretend to watch tv, stand in the shower, plan where you are going to put your gear, move from the stove to the fridge to the table. All of these things will give you an idea of what life will be. Welcome to the wonderful world of RV'ing!:) It's a great way of life!
