I'd avoid the 5er and get a used 25' Bigfoot. A half ton or a car like a Chrysler 300 can do the job. A much better road going combination than any 5er.
Most folks new to RVng are impressed by big interiors. But the whole point to camping is to travel to places with shirtsleeve weather. Be outside as much as possible.
Indoors, we are sleeping or sitting 99.8% of the time. It is the view from the windows and a pleasant breeze which matters. Not excess space to cool and clean. Unless you like cleaning.

A $40k budget can do quite a lot with the above. My combination was far less in price.
Of course, if one is just traveling to a warmer climate to watch TV in winter, what one buys or its quality matters much less.
But if you expect to travel, get something better.
