THe fact that you are a mechanical engineer is a big plus. The idea that you prefer not to fix things along the way is a big minus.
Tinkering with the RV will always be part of the equation.
It's all so good that you have a truck, Although it is not the most capable truck when it comes to towing an RV I'm sure you can find a trailer to match your truck.
Read up on towing parameters and find out the payload rating on your truck.
The max tow rating is not the only criteria to consider.
Towing a trailer will make the drive a bit longer and tougher vs. not having a trailer however us RV'ers believe it is worth it.
RV'ing is a lifestyle and a mindset you will have to enjoy the adventurous part of RV'ing. The fixing stuff, tinkering and dealing with the unknowns is all a part of it.
If you want stress free no fixing stuff ,no hassles or unknowns go with hotels.
If you want to enjoy the outdoors and pure adventure go RV'ing.
I suggest you test the waters and rent something before jumping in with both feet.
