Since time is not a problem...a six week ROAD TRIP comes to mind with seeing and doing on the way. Your rig is small enough to get around in and at the end you will have a better idea if a larger RV is in your future. Letting her fly will not help in deciding your RV future and this is a RV forum.
As for where you should look, it's about the same as what RV should I buy... the same as I bought. I admit that I'm partial to the GA mountains (yes mountains close to 5K) especially now that at age 62 you do not have to pay GA income tax on $35K/person and at age 65 it increases to $65K/person. While none of the 21 Boomer towns are here, we get plenty of retires escaping the cold north and the hot summer Fla weather with a low cost of living. In winter warm WX is only a days drive south. Good luck on your choices.
