I think it's good to see a lot of RVs of all types before deciding. RV shows, dealer lots, asking around. We considered everything from a large class A to a small trailer for a couple of years before coming full circle to our original thought, a class B.
Never regretted it, found a good used one and have traveled all over the US and Canada for 2+ months at a time.
