Welcome to RVForums @Holland. Many including self have been there done that. Hopefully first and foremost you can find a great sales person to educate you and answer any and all questions and you've done a great thing which I didn't do until after the fact which is to find an online community like this. YouTube has also been a huge training resource for me personally on everything so use your search tools as well and use what works best for you.

Ask any and all questions, post links, pictures, etc. and we'll gladly assist.

Great to have you join us and you're going to love the journey ahead.

Welcome. Read as many forums as you can. Read reviews on all of the brands to familiarize yourself with real people’s experiences. Keep in mind you may find more negative reviews than positive. Go to as many dealers, RV shows etc. as you can. As, Neal mentioned, YouTube is a university of knowledge and experience. Biggest thing is take your time. Researching for a year could save you tons of money, not to mention, the time to prepare for the purchase. When you consider the price range, don’t just look at the monthly payment, but insurance, maintenance, and camping expenses. Ask many, many questions.

Welcome to RVF, @Holland; glad to have you here with us. There are many knowledgeable and experienced folks on the forum. They are generous in sharing the wealth. You have received good advice from @Neal and @AbdRahim so I won't duplicate it. My advice is to make a list of all the "creature comforts" you would like to have and take it with you as you look at a wide variety of coaches. Compare what you find with what you'd like and use that information to help guide your decisions.

Good luck and be sure to ask all the questions you need answers for.
