Hi, My name is Mike.
I do not own an RV yet, but am looking into it. I have a lot of questions, so you may see me pestering people on this site.
I hope to purchase a Class B van withing the coming year so I can tour the country and visit family and friends who are scattered across the country.
I live in Idaho.

If anyone is willing to share some good advice on getting started, I'm all ears.

Welcome aboard Mike. We just have Travel Trailer (TT), so I can’t help in the RV dept but lots of great knowledgeable folks on here!

Welcome. Happy shopping.
Just realize there is no prefect brand or model, they will all have issues. Repairs and maintenance to an RV will be on going. These days looking on line you can narrow down what you may like to kick the tires on.
Rvtrader.com is a good place to look. We have never owned a class B but I do believe it is a good way to see the country.
Good luck

I suggest an RV show! Keep your grounding, and remember the Saturn cube is ever present at these shows!!

Just remember that the amount of space you need is important as well. Good Luck!

Welcome to RVforums from Ely, Iowa. Research the type of unit you want. Keep an open mind on the type. Make a list of must haves and nice to haves. I searched the internet and made a spreadsheet of all the available rigs that met our needs. Do not get in a hurry. Once armed with some knowledge go to shows and dealers and LOOK. As others have said leave check book at home as well as your pen.
