I am another who sees little value in renting. Trying to get used to a rental is not going to give you a valuable experience. If you do get an RV plan on spending some time customizing and getting used to living in it. I also recommend you stay at least 20 feet away from any RV salesperson. Instead think through what you really plan on doing with an RV. If your intention is to go to a beach resort area and save some money, you might want to reconsider. Resort RV parks can be expensive and you will need to pay for the RV and a suitable truck.
Again think about what you really want to do and what type and size of RV will be suitable. Staying small is a great idea, but unless you stay really small a half ton truck might not be enough.
I would start by listing what is really needed. A/C? Wet or dry bath? Microwave? Oven? Hook ups or solar with or without generator? Full size Queen bed? Etc, etc. Then start by looking at the smallest units that are suitable. Try to avoid adding more and more and try to avoid the influence of a salesperson pushing more and more features. You can get a tremendous amount of information off the internet. Look at manufacturer webpages and study floor plans and features before hitting the dealerships.
