Nothing. Bought a used good quality diesel Class B and had five great years, just the two of us, seeing the US and Canada. We were newbies and spent two years before purchasing learning everything we could about all classes of RVs and options.
Now, with a big service dog in our lives, we've traded in the B this year for something slightly larger. (Got almost what we paid for the B in trade in.)
So I'd say don't be afraid to buy best quality you can find in a clean used unit if you are handy with tools. You'll enjoy learning all about how an RV works. But keep your options open. Maybe a trailer is ideal, maybe something else. Talk to a lot of people.
I think Dutchman has it right. Buy what suits you now but realize change may come.
