There are some great websites and forums. I like IRV2. You can find some information here. You will learn a lot by getting out and talking to RV people salesmen, full timers, lifetime RVers. It is nto hard to learn a lot bout RVs, it just takes time.

One thing I have learned is that if you want heavy use reliability, avoid any thor products. Thor owns a lot of he other Rv companies and uses its "massive buying power" to buy universally cheap parts and equipment for all of its companies.Another thing you will earn along the way is to buy a used RV. new includes a huge premium, massive. Then you spent part or all of your first two years at dealerships/repair shops getting things corrected. A few people don't but it appears uncommon. You can get so much more for your money buying n Rv that is five years old or more. Most of them get little use and are stored inside so the age does not hurt anything. If you want the newest tech, you can always swap out all the TVs and sound systems and still be way ahead financially. the big risk of used from what I can tell is getting one that was smoked in and the odor temporarily masked (or one that had or has a roof leak - but that can happen new as well.).
