Again, great information that I need to get us going in the right direction! The only mistake I am worried about is having to buy the wrong thing more than once, meaning buy the right thing the first time around. Less cost and less headache.
Buying right the first time is a laudable goal, though I chose a different path. Having only rented very basic class C in the past, I did not believe we knew enough to confidently select our dream coach on the first shot. Instead, we bought a less expensive (but still nice) gasser to begin our full time adventure. We have learned a great deal from this coach in the past six months and we still really like her. Eventually we are apt to sell her as we upgrade. Then we will shop slowly and knowledgeably for the right coach. As rv's are constantly depreciating and constantly in need on care/maintanence, she will likely sell for less than we will have spent, but we do not expect to take a bath when we sell her ( as we likely would have if we re-sold a new or expensive rig). As we bought her right and are making cosmetic improvements as we go, we might just get all our money back, but we are not counting on that.
So remember there are different approaches. If you are able to find and buy the perfect coach now, that will be awesome. If you have difficulty doing so, you could pull back, buy a starter rig and shop for the upgrade at your leisure.
