Before committing to buying something, maybe try first renting an rv for a weekend or vacation to get an idea of what you like and don't like. That's what I did, and I learned a ton about what worked and didn't work for me. Plus learning about what types of RV's work best for me for navigating around different national parks, highways, parking lots, gas stations, etc.
Cruise America and other vendors do RV rentals. They're a little expensive, but a lot cheaper than buying something outright and end up hating. Also check out an RV show to see lots of different rigs all in the same place.
In addition to travel trailers and class C's, check out truck campers. They may be small, but give you a TON of versatility and mobility. (spoiler alert, truck camper is the style I went with....Dodge Ram and Arctic Fox 990). I didn't sell my house and go full time yet, but it works out great for the style of travel that I want to do at this point in my life as a single guy and pet dalmation/pitt bull mix dog.
