The kind of rv you buy, and the options/amenities you want or need depends, IMO, on what you intend to do with it. Our motorhome is our home for 6 months or so per year. As such, I want the same amenities in it that I want in the winter stick and brick. Things like satellite tv, a large bed, full size shower, decent kitchen, workspace for DW, and room enough for us and the dog are important. If you are a weekender who plans to spend most of your time in "wilderness", things like a full bathroom, HD tv, and sound systems may not be as important. While I would not rush into any purchase, I would hesitate to buy too cheap the first time. An older, worn out rv may require so many repairs that you will become discouraged with the hobby/lifestyle. Good luck with your new adventure.
