My thought is first are you fully committed to buying an RV? If you are get the RV that you love 100%.
It is a domino effect, If you get an RV to fit your current truck don't go too big but be sure you are 100% committed.
Be extremely aware of the costly upgrade game.
It goes sort of like this...Buy trailer to start with, you realize you need a better tow vehicle so you buy a new truck. New truck is more capable which opens the door to buying a new trailer. Each step cost money. Before you know it you spent a bundle figuring things out. People go through this cycle all the time, many don't even realize it.
If you are unsure rent for a weekend. From there make final solid decisions.
Spend your money buying what you really want, don't waste too much of it sorting things out.
RV shows are great for seeing lots of RV's in one location with no pressure.
Used vs. new. If you know what your looking at and are knowledgeable enough to recognize the pitfalls in used units. Then there are bargains to be found in the used market. If you lack the skills to buy used then stick with new.
