We figured we'd stop in a place, check it out, move on if we don't find something we like.

It's our first really large trailer. We had a 28' Trail-Lite before. It was nice but the difference in room (with 3 slides) and creature comforts are like night and day. We've progressed in age to the point our "camper" is more of a base camp for visiting other places...not for out in the woods type camping. We almost always stop at a campground with hook-ups and the modern conveniences. The down side is this rig is heavy. I haven't pulled it yet but I can see where it could be a challenge in some places.
Nice. I have friends who partially retired last year, rented the house here in CO and they have been living in their 5th wheel since then. For him having a good internet connection is all he needs for work. They spend their winter in TX and Florida (where their children live) and are moving back north for the summer. He did mention that pulling a 5th wheel through OK and northern TX with a 40mph counterwind required a LOT of patience!

With the right rig and some patience you will do fine.
