What type of camping do you think you'll be doing? We camp year round mostly on public lands without hookups so holding tank capacities, insulation, battery reserve, furnace, vent fan, LED lighting, awning etc are important to us. If you'll be staying where WSE are available, these are obviously much less critical.
FWIW, we've found we spend very little time in our camper and, if we're in the campground, we're outside under the awning or in our screen room in inclement weather. The stove has been used only a few times for coffee and I don't even know if the microwave works. We did have a. custom mattress made for the bed and it's as good or better than what we have at home.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Al, primary interest in Camping is currently "resort-like" campgrounds.
We might venture into more primitive camping - I'm open to explore
but wifey is a little reluctant. Maybe as we learn more we will
be more adventurous.
If camping means being without my morning Coffee, it ain't for me :-)
We have been mostly homebodies most of our lives and going to the
Beach, visiting relatives, or Disney World has been about all the
exploring we have done. Now that we are retired, I'm thinking we
need to find out if we have been missing a lot in life.
You don't need electricity to make coffee out camping. We bought a French press coffee maker. All you have to do is heat up some water in a pan on the stove, once boiling just pour it into the press. The press won't keep it warm so we pour the coffee into insulated mugs.
I guess we're opposite of you we tend to stay away from the resort RV parks. We like dry camping or even staying at State parks that offer elec and water with some having sewer. Don't get me wrong we still hit a few RV parks during the season. RV parks tend to be more of a base camp. State parks and forest service campgrounds tend to put you in the center of the action. At least where we're located.
Either way it's all good.
