I read the OP's post a lot differently than everyone else on here. I read the first line that said they're new to the RV world, then skipped down to the line about the trailer they're looking at.
IMO, I would not begin my RV life by going straight to such a large trailer. Start smaller, get it figured out, and work your way up to something larger. I don't want to be sharing the road with someone who's first experience pulling an RV is a 36' fifth wheel.
Also known as spend a lot of money along the way. It's a lot cheaper to start out with the trailer you want rather than buying your way up to it. Learning to pull and maneuver it can be learned with a little empty parking lot practice.
How do you know what you want the first time? And sure you can learn some basics in a parking lot, but there won't be any semi's passing you at 75 MPH in the empty lot behind the mall. I stick with my original statement. Buy something a little smaller, nice used model, and spend a year or so learning what you like, don't like, need, don't need, and what it takes to make you comfortable. With experience and knowledge gained, you will be better off on your next unit. If you're worried about losing a little bit of money along the way, then you're looking at the wrong hobby.
