Thinking of buying a RV, need help?

I am very inexperienced with RVs, so I need lots of help. I am thinking of buying a RV because me and my family love road trips. I think it would be a good way to come together and connect the family. I need something that will sleep 5-8 people comfortably. Here are some questions:

1) Have you had good experience with a RV? Was it worth owning one?
2) Should I get a trailer(I don’t have a truck, but I could buy one) or mobile RV?
2A) If you said trailer, what kind?
2B) If you said mobile RV, what kind?
3) What is a good budget when looking for a RV?
4) What RVs(year,make,model) would you suggest?
5) What is a good website I can go to for RV sales?

Money is not a issue in my family but I don’t know if it is worth spending so much money on a RV. I was thinking ,000-75-000 budget maybe? Is that a good budget? I’ve been mostly looking at A-class and C-class mobile RVs. Or should I get a truck and a trailer? I don’t know, I think it would be hard to haul a trailer and it wouldn’t be as comfortable as traveling in a RV(while the car is in motion). I’ve been looking at the C-class, but now I’m thinking maybe it has a trashy design? I’m not sure. Are there any stereotypes out there with C-class? A-class is huge, like a bus. Which would be the best for me? I need something that’s practical, can sleep 5-8 comfortably, and easy to drive for a vehicle this size.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank You

    Way too many questions for one reasonable length response. I will just say give careful consideration on the type of R/V you select. There are distinct advantages and disadvantages to each (Motorhome, 5th Wheel, Hitch pull etc). Never buy new. Many people get a rig and then discover a year later it is too small or some other reason that they trade it or sell it. There are lots of good deals on newer low usage RV’s of all types.
