You know, many of us on these forums didn't jump into our current RV's from total scratch. Many of us inherited the lifestyle from our parents when we were kids, and others started out camping in tents, moved to pop-ups, trailers, and finally motor homes. It's a progression.
Considering you are planning out a year from now, why not get a tent now, sleeping bags, and a few essential camping items and get your feet wet experiencing "The Great Outdoors". Besides, any item you purchase for tent camping, will then be automatically moved into the new camper once you get it. So it's definitely NOT money lost, but instead, well invested for your future camper.
By experiencing some tent camping now, you'll begin to familiarize yourself how campgrounds works, about water conservation, different environments, dealing with less than favorable sunshine days, travel, planning, and a bunch of other camping "basics" that will automatically transition to your new RV when you get it.
In the event you really do not like the campground crowd for some reason, and that camping REALLY is not what you though it would be, at best, you'll have the cost of the tent at a loss (which isn't that much) and the other camping gear can be kept for the impending predicted zombie attack we're all suppose to encounter someday! (well, it doesn't hurt to carry a sleeping back in the truck of your car in the winter).
Considering your home is Wisconsin, Wisconsin has some very, very nice State Parks, more than comfortable for any kind of camping, with variety everywhere. Use this next year as a learning experience. You learn a LOT by tent camping that transfers to RV-ing. Cooking, bathing, use of water, bathroom needs, reservations, travel, planning, dealing with fellow campers, just to name a few.
And that tent? After you get your RV, you can still set the tent up at your campsite and use it for an outside storage area, to put things like, lawn chairs and such out of the way and keep dry in the event of rain, or just as a place use as a portable outside garage. Plus.... if the in-laws decide to come along, they can sleep in the tent! NEVER give up YOUR bed to anyone else. Guests always sleep somewhere else, never YOUR bed.
Anyway, this is just a suggestion how you can utilize the next 12 months to a full advantage, planning, preparing, and experiencing what you will need when you finally get that RV.
But most of all, have fun! It's a fun adventure. The adventure begins when you make that final decision ... "I want this!" And the planning starts! It's so exciting, you head spins! Good luck and really enjoy these days of planing and prep.
