It's a bit of hassle for sure.... But I think the trade off is worth it to have the big coach with all the great things you get with the big daddy... The room. The drive. Always seems there is a spot for them. Sometimes u just got to find the ones..

Size matters, Entegra floor plan is what meets our needs. I have "passed" on some camp grounds although we can dry camp two or three days easily and then locate a camp ground for dumping tanks and refilling water. A 43' or 45' can be a bit bigger for some to drive, however buy what meets your requirements and accept its benefits and limitations.

My 4528 is 40', and that's my final answer.

X2 on RV Parky.

It doesn't do everythink but it's nice for finding places to overnight and fuel.

We're 43' and haven't felt restricted.

You have selected a very nice coach for the features that obviously appeal to you (like the rest of us). Enjoy - I have never not stayed anywhere that I really wanted to.

I'll have to chime in.........

It's the biggest RV you could possibly buy... therefore, the most restrictive..

If you're living in it.. well .. ya know, you find ways to deal with the added hassle.. which (to me) it is, but it's not un-doable.. as you can see, LOTS of people do it, and there's a breed of rv park that caters to big rigs... think large parking lot style resorts ...

Is this your first rig like this? If so, ya know.. just take your time... the thing has one heck of a tight turning radius I bet..but plan ahead.. I think in a big rig you just get good understanding where you're going before you get there. Missed turns, or a turn down the wrong street can be... well... hair raising.

Since we don't full time, nor do we travel with a lot of stuff, we downsized after a few years, 25k miles, to something smaller specifically so we could find some "off the beaten path" places.

I'll never forget trying to cut a tree limb off at a state park.. from the top of my big rig..
