What to do, what to do? This sign was at the entrance to a state park campground, followed by a extremely tight and narrow right hand turn afterwards. My coach is at 30,000 pounds with toad. Bridge was a 9 foot 8 inches wide as measured by my copilot. My coach is 8.5 feet wide.

The 90 degree turn on this side would be the deal breaker if you ask me. [emoji53]

Looks like the pic is taken from the road outside the campground, meaning that the MH is already in the campground??!! If so, is this an afterward "O-Sh*t"??!! Or that is another MH pondering leaving, while OP is pondering entering!!

You are correct! Going into the campground was not as hard as leaving because of the room for the tail to swing when making the left into the campground bridge. However, leaving it was a very different story. The tail swing on that narrow bridge made it quite a challenge. Sharon refused to drive over the bridge in the motorhome, so she walked and assumed the role of "telling me where to go" and she kept me informed by two way radio . We spent considerable time plotting our exit walking it back and forth, and we made it with just inches to spare.
Funny, when we got to our campsite a female ranger sped up and jumping out she said "you can't fit that big thing in this campground". Sharon told her that their web site allowed reservations for rigs up to 38 foot and we are only 35 foot. She said "well, we can't figure out how to change that information. If we could, it would only allow 30 foot or less". What can I say, the saying "A day late and a dollar short" comes to mind.

After watching you pack it for travel I would estimate the gross to be about 3800# give or take a monkey or two.
