Buy used for your first RV. You may be selling or trading it in a year or two.
Yes, setting up and taking down a dinette/couch every day gets old, real quick. It's okay for occasional use, just not all the time.
Don't be in a hurry to buy. Look at everything and ask lots of questions BEFORE you give a seller any money or sign any agreements.
Salesmen are not your friend. Their only goal is to sell you something. You'll find that some of them know less sbout RV's than you.
Someone on the forum will have an answer to your questions. Don't hesitate to ask.
Enjoy your travels.
Yeah, we're "ready" to buy right now, but definitely in no super rush. As it is, we have to have a couple trees removed and concrete that area as a driveway extension for the trailer parking. We definitely have time to do our due diligence.
As for cost, depreciation, and buying used, is that primarily in case we don't like it, or figure something out and realize we need to sell that one, and get something different? Makes sense. I've always been a little wary of used, though.
