I don't mean this in a snarky manner but do a search of the forum and then spend some time reading threads. Your questions are far too broad to get a good answer.
My sentiments exactly. No one here can tell the OP in anything shorter than a book to describe what this sport is all about, the advantages & disadvantages, important issues to consider, etc. The OP is biting off WAY too much by expecting to just jump in so suddenly and start traveling this summer with a travel trailer and would be far better off to do what many if not most of us have done - buy a used popup, start camping locally, even include some driveway camping in the process, and they'll learn very quickly what works and what doesn't. Presented as it is the OP's expectations are just not realistic. :R
This is not necessarily true. We have some friends who had never RVed before. They decided they wanted to go to Alaska, so they bought a TT, hooked it up, and went to Alaska. That was a year or so ago. They are taking it back to Alaska again this year. (The first time, they drove across Canada. This time they want to take the ferry.) Some people do well by just jumping in with both feet.
