Absolutely rent one first to test it out.

Charles makes a very good point about passengers being able to stretch their legs while on the road in a motor home. OTOH, if you *did* (or will) have a suitable tow vehicle, it's very nice not to invest in a drivetrain w/in the RV that just... sits 99% of the time and gets garage rot, needs maintenance, etc.

Back when I had an F250 diesel, I rented a tag-along 30' trailer and went to central Texas with a total of six passengers (and a border collie). Had a great trip, but was also happy to be able to turn the trailer back over to the rental place when we were done w. it.
