Welcome. As Mark stated, it would be helpful to know what size tow vehicle you have as that is the limiting factor in the size/weight TT you can tow. That said, there is no "perfect" Rv and most people never buy their last RV first. Because until you start RVing you don't know what you don't know about what you need and want from an RV. These are personal choices and no one can really tell you that. When asking for opinions on what RV to buy, most people will respond with what they have and you should buy that. You need to make a choice that works for you. You are correct in that some brands are better than others and that takes research and looking at reviews of various RVs. Airstream, per your example, used to be very fine and well built and you get what you pay for. However, Thor has purchased Airstream and Thor is not known for their quality - quite the opposite. My last and current RV is a Forest River product and of all the brands I've owned, I have been very happy with them. Fit and finish is good and the customer support is outstanding. Something you will NOT find in most manufacturers. The next choice is floorplan, floorplan, floorplan. Find one that works for you. Go to shows, dealerships etc and walk through as many as you can and see how daily activities would work in each one. Where would the litter box go, where is the trashcan, storage in side and outside, windows, etc etc. Once you narrow down a floorplan, shop around. It's definitely a process. And if you choose poorly, it's expensive as RVs depreciate dramatically when driven off the lot and you loose money trading up to a different model. And as always, there are TONS of used RVs on the market. If you find a good used model, well taken care of, bugs worked out, it's easier on the wallet. Good luck!
