If you aren't going to move very much then a trailer or a fithwheel is better for less maintenance and initial costs.
A fithwheel can be bigger with more storage but the bigger you go the bigger the truck needed to pull it.
Before you do much, look into weather there are RV parks near enough to where you want to be and if they allow for year round camping or if they have time limits as to how long you can be there, then find out how much (urban means more expensive) and add that to the cost of any RV you are searching for to determine if it's actually cheaper. In touristy areas the campsite can be pretty expensive, so much so that if you have to make payments on an RV and a Tow Vehicle (TV), it may not be viable.
Good Luck and use the search function as you can learn lots from other posts that are similar to yours.
