Wow, thank you everyone for you responses, i wasn't expecting so many so quickly. They have been very helpful.
DrewE, I wish I had 110,000 to spend on an RV! haha. Yes that is a typo error on my part-I have but only around $11,000 to spend.
KMP44, I won't have a separate vehicle in tow. However, I do plan on bringing a nice multi-gear bike to get around town with. I think with a bike and bus systems, I can get to where I want to go with not too much stress. But good point nonetheless. The reason I am not considering slideouts is because they are not in my price range. I will probably be buying a 90's model, and many of those do not have slideouts.
Roy and Lynne, thank you for the information pertaining to national forests not being able to house RVs over 36 feet. I will definitely be looking into that to see what the deal is.
Tatest, thank you very much for your very informative and in-detail post, it was most helpful.
To everyone else that I did not mention- thank you as well! :)
I may rent an RV. It is no doubt a good idea to see what it is all about and get a better feel for the workings of it. However, at about 200 dollars a night, I don't think I can afford it. I am working with an extremely limited budget, with very little wiggle room. I barely make enough to cover my day to day expenses. I am sure, however, that i will be purchasing a motorhome as my current housing situation is not acceptable, and going the RV route is definitely what I want to do, especially given that i want to travel around.
After researching more, I find myself continuing to lean towards a 30-35 foot Class A with a dinette, couch, separate bedroom with queen size bed (i wish more RVs had a real door separating the bedroom, but most have just a slider cloth material separation), and all the other usual suspects.
Additional Questions to add to the post
It is important for me to have television in my bedroom (i am a film buff), but I notice that most RVs only leave room for a very small TV off to the side(or sometimes atop a small spot atop a cabinet). Is it possible to buy a television wall mount and attach it to the RV wall for a lightweight 30'' TV sit on? Or are the walls of RVs too lightweight and not strong enough to hold that weight? Are there lots of electrical wires behind the walls I could hit? I am talking about something like this--- http://www.amazon.com/Mount--MI-411-Bracket-Articulating-200x200/dp/B0055IX824/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1424483187&sr=8-5&keywords=television+wall+mount+extend
Do RV parks/trailer parks have size limitations on RVs that they will accept?
