Welcome to the gang PennyP, enjoy here and out in the playground.
Not having a motorhome I can't say much at all, only make sure it ticks all your boxes.
Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

G'day PennyP and welcome to the forum. Don't forget to try the two ongoing games here - 'Who is This' in the 'I Digress' section and 'Pick this Place' in the 'General' Section - a great source to find new places to visit. We are vanners so don't really know to much about motorhomes. I reckon a good place is to check if there is an owners forum for whatever brand you are looking for as problems are sure to be discussed on them.
2006 Jayco Conquest on a Fiat Ducato type 244 chassis, same as my avatar
Around the same year Winnebago on a Ford chassis, owned by my brother
In my opinion, the Winnebago is far superior than the Jayco, and the Ford is far superior than the Fiat
Hope that you find what you are looking for

Difficult to provide much useful advise without some idea of what you want, where you want to go and what your budget is.
You could spend the same money on a new cheapy or a well appointed luxury van 15 or 20 years old with low kms.
You might be a black top only tourer who stays only in caravan parks, or someone who wants to really explore this country off the beaten track in comfort.
Cheers,
Peter

Weight, length and licence also . Converted Coasters , or Rosa are fine .Depending on conversion . Donāt like the Fiats ., seem to me ?? built for a budget. Front wheel drive . Not a fan !
