If the tv tow capacity is 6500 then going with a 4500lb trailer gives your wife plenty of margin to add all the stuff she thinks are necessities :). I guess ideally indoor storage is best. Out of the elements, easier to keep clean, etc. That said rv's are built for the outdoors and most people I know store them outside. I cover mine during the off season but some folks are not big on covers.
Most of the campgrounds I visit are full hook-up (water, electric and sewer) but if you're use to tent camping you may want to get a generate and consider getting a trailer with a large fresh, grey and black water capacity for camping in places without facilities.
Insurance on my $15,000 trailer is less than $200/year. The hidden expense is the big drop in gas mileage when you're towing and all the add on gadgits you and the misses will want to add:).
Enjoy the hunt.
