Welcome to the forum. First off, new or used? Most important thing in my opinion is research and finding the correct weight range to work with based on your tow vehicles safe towing and payload capacities. Next is floor plan for your needs (too much trailer for tow vehicle is the the most common mistake newbies make). Once you have spent time inside enough trailers and narrowed down a general wants list, consider ease and quantity of storage as well as functionality of the floor plan. The goal is to buy your third rv first. It took me almost 7 different rvs before I found one that we truly like. I don't recommend that process.
If used, you definitely need to know what you are looking for as far as common problem areas before making an offer. Price is price, you need to start with a budget and go from there. NADA or Internet searches will tell you what the fair market value is for a given make and model, year, etc.
