Consider where you will be staying. Winter in a RV in the cold climates is difficult at best and may even approach the impossible, especially for new Rvers. Also look at RV park availability. You may find yourself with a 40 plus mile commute one way.
Considering the learning curve, I generally do not recommend a RV for fulltime use for new RVers, and this is coming from someone who lived full time in a RV for 5 years. Nothing wrong with the lifestyle, but it is not the same as pulling up to an apartment and unpacking your suitcase.
You also need to consider how handy you are with fixing things. Motorhomes are incredibility complicated, and if you are not handy with tools, you need to be handy with your checkbook.
