What to watch for and watch out for

The only unexpected expenses will be repair on your RV. If you are diligent about doing regular maintenance repairs should be minimal. Tires are important so always check them and replace due to age, not appearance. Don't overload your RV.
Don't go into debt over purchasing the RV. Figure what you can comfortably afford and then shop for a little less. Keep the extra money aside for repairs and don't touch it until needed.
Weather - keep a close watch on it wherever you are.
Roads - get off the interstates and drive the secondary highways. You'll see a lot more of this country's countryside and friendly people.
RV Parks - don't limit yourself to hookups. Do some dry camping and you find lovely spots in national forest campgrounds and other public parks
Other than the above..... get your RV and just GO! Don't dwell on the 'what ifs' or you'll never relax and really enjoy yourself.
