thats a pretty big loaded question !
If it was me I would find a unit you like then maybe ask questions about it .
just because I think my camper is the greatest in the world doesn't mean its right for you.
since my 5th wheel camper is 36 feet long and costs $30,000 and I need a 3/4 ton diesel pickup to pull it .
I would start small to see if its what you even want to do .
by the way welcome to the forum

To add to turbo's comment, if you want help you will have to say what your camping intentions might be, like length of camping stays, number of people, where you are thinking of going, driving skills, amount of money you wnat to spend, etc, etc.
The choices are almost unlimited.
Have you considered a small motorhome? If you have no other use for a truck, that might be an option.

Welcome aboard. Don't be afraid to ask. Also, don't be afraid to use the search function as there is a lot of information already in the forums. This is an awesome forum; the best I've ever been a part of.

First off, 
There was a thread here a few (months? years?) ago that was pretty much the same question. It dealt with types and floor plans of RVs and the plusses amd minuses of each.
I will try to find it for you.

Here is a good place to start. I will keep looking.

IggyPop, let me just add if you go with PrimeTime, you will not regret it. No, I have no affiliation with the company, however I have benefited from their customer service whether it be from questions and answers or taking care of an issue. By far, the best customer service I have received from any company (not just in the RV world).

Hello.
When I first read your name I started to sing "Real Wild Child" in my head 
All I can say is that you came to the right place!
(Wish I had been on here prior to my TV purchase.)
Good-luck and enjoy 'shopping'!!!!
