Hi lynnette and :welcome: to the fun
That's a big beast you are looking at. Before we retired my ambition was to have something similar but when we started talking to poeple in the know we soon decided to go with something a lot smaller initially.
We now have a 7.5 M european motorhome which we can take most places at a reasonable cost.
Having said that there are many on this site and the sister site, RVOC,
that love their monster trucks and are quite happy with what we think of as the cons of motorhoming.
The answer is to look around at as many different vans and speak with as many seasoned folk as possible.
Good luck & happy hunting:thumb:

Motor homes are horses for courses, it'd be very boring if we all had the same box
Yank motor homes, or RVs as most refer, dispite the term RV actually covering a range of vehicles, and past times, are just a bit bigger, 34 ft's not that big in the Yank scheme of things.
We're 'RVers' frankly, by accident to start and now through choice, size, space and fun (grin) factor, mind you our tiddler is a mear 28ft, but we haven't had issues getting anywhere, well I did cause a few raised eyebrows in a Waitrose car park once
As has been mentioned, one of FUN's sister sites is rvoc.co.uk so take a potter over as needless to say it's all (mostly) Yanks that side.
The bounder, seem a lot about but I have no personal experience but I'm sure others can give you more info:thumb:

Just googled, very nice:thumb:
I think Roger mentioned licence, I presume you have HGV, as you need for that size (weight).

an RV is a great motorhome
do not be put off by the euro crowd about fuel costs
my rv runs on LPG £0.70 per ltr and returns 20mpg not bad for a full proper home from home
unlike the flimsy rattled to bits euro motorhomes
most would love to have an RV but can not afford to own one
if you can afford one go for it they keep a better resale price
are a more comfortable ride
have a propperfull size bed room (note the word ROOM )
more storage than you will need
a half bath if you get one like ours
make sure you get one with all the fittings solar pannel cameras alarms
leveling jacks and youl find every one asking you if they can see inside it
