Going on an RV trip, when you really don't know much about RV's might only add RV-related anxieties to your other anxieties. I'm not saying don't do it. Do take the advice of other posters: analyze your anxieties about travel. Perhaps tackle them one at a time.
Something like the Caravan Tours mentioned above, or a Road Scholar trip can relieve many types of trip anxiety: Where can I stay? Will I be safe? Will the food/water be safe to consume? How much should I tip? etc.
https://www.roadscholar.org/collections/on-the-road/ There are several trips to western national parks listed on the page linked here. You can search for other types of trips, other locations.
I've been on half a dozen Road Scholar (formerly known as Elderhostel) trips. They handle all of the lodging issues, including tips, baggage, most of the food. There are knowledgeable guides along on the trip. You can get a private or a shared room.
Road Scholar trips are available at all levels from sitting in lectures all day to seriously challenging physical stuff like hiking, skiing, etc. You can go just about anywhere in the world with Road Scholar. Prices are reasonable and most of the other participants have been pleasant and interesting people.
Yes, I love my RV and my travels in it, but there is sometimes a time or place for a group trip, too.
Best wishes for making your travel dreams come true!
