45 ' is not too large!
We have traveled from Canada, to Florida, Texas, and Arizona and multiple points in between and have never been unable to find a place to park or an RV park that could not accommodate us. We have a 45 motorhome and tow a Flex, for a total of 54 '.

45 is not to big. I wish they made one bigger. We've never had a problem being able to get anywhere we want, having a 60 degree front turn radius and a tag axle that can be raised is great. We can get in spots that we couldn't get with our old 40 footer with no tag.

Unless that's a very short Flex, I think he meant 64'.

I agree with the above, my 45 turns better and often feels shorter than my old 40 footer. I have absolutely no regrets about going to 45, and I am loving all the extra room.

This is our first coach and felt comfortable enough after with just a couple test drives. The key is being conservative when driving. Speeds and distances should be slower and greater respectively.

Our coach has a 60 degree wheel cut and I can't believe where I have been able to get this rig into. Also our 45 with the tag is very stable in cross winds.

Get the 45' and don't look back.
