STOP!!!
Never ever buy new as your first ever RV. Depreciation the second you pull it off the lot could cost you more than a decent used trailer. There is about a 80% chance you will not keep it long enough to break even, so why not start small and used. That way when you decide either the RV life is not for you, or the one you pick just is just not suited to your wants you won't lose your shirt.
