Welcome to our forum, hope we can help you a bit...

Your Ford--250/350/SRW/DRW? This will be the constaint on what size fiver you can handle.

Probably can't say what to stay away from--they all put out a lemon now and then, some more than others. Thor makes the most RVs under their umbrella of brands/models, then Forest River, then Winnebago. What you need to do is start looking at some of the owners' forums about a brand/model you are interested in--that should bring up some complaints and if there are quite a few, then might drop that one from the list.
Might also consider going to RV shows to find a floorplan both you and wife like.
Also consider buying used for the first one, they depreciate mightily soon as you sign the papers. If new, if you pay more than 25% of the MSRP, you left something on the table.
Good luck, have fun. Just remember once you start living in it, very hard to get major problems addressed.
Joe
