We bought a cheapo used hybrid to make sure. It worked out, so we moved up. Ours heads to the campground tonight and will stay until Halloween.

Yep, Exactly what Alx said. I'd buy cheap, use it a few times (you'll know within the first three or four trips if it's something you'll continue to do) then trade up to a nicer camper if you're still interested. I wouldn't spend a shite ton of cash on a really nice one until you're sure everyone will enjoy it. I've seen lots of high dollar campers sitting in people's yards until they eventually sell them for a loss (only used once or twice).
ETA: It is definitely an investment. You'll have to have it serviced every year or two. Roof replacement is a regular thing. Not extremely costly, but you'll be spending money on it yearly. I do love mine though, wouldn't go back to not having a camper for sure.

good advice
we started with a 1971 prowler in 2006 it was cheap and got parked at the deer lease in the fall unless we had a camping trip planned, then I'd haul it home...once we realized we enjoyed camping we upgraded to 301BHD (31' bunk house double slide)with a slide for the kids room
No info on if Fairview will reopen for the weekend before Halloween or not, so we are thinking of pulling the kids out of school on that Friday and heading out Thursday eve. to Topsail Hill Preserve at Santa Rosa Beach, Fl it's on the "30A"
