Some replies are excellent - some just plain nuts!.:R
What works for one person, may be another's nightmare.
Only *you* know your skill and do-it-yourself abilities.
(Or the size of your wallet)
Decide what you *think* is best for you - then go verify.
Decided how much you will use it.
Remember that an RV with an engine, transmission, six tires, etc. - requires
care and "feeding".
A MH may *not* be the best choice for a "starter" RV.
In many instances, owners change their mind and take a "bath" on what they paid. (May work well for the next buyer - but you don't want to be the guy in the bath water!)
Get out there and look & drive - new & used, from dealers and private parties.
Good luck!
