Staying under 35 feet helps your towing capacity, the towing abilities go down with increases in length. Quality should also be your priority and brand names well known in the RV Industry.

??????...... Oh snap!....lighter weight gasser chassis without a tag...ok....good point.. especially if one has an extended rear overhang...

The more time you have to spend inside (like when it is raining) the faster you will realize how much room you don’t have inside.

Ours is 32 ft class C and I love it and the room, but I used to ride submarines so....

After two week trip the wife was getting to the point she wanted more room.

I made reservations at Manatee State Park in Fl the other day for October. Only a few 40' sites there and they were all booked. They have 3 sections and only one has sewer. Of course only 30' sites available with sewer. I ended up with a 35' site without sewer.

So I got a site, but not what I would have preferred. 1st time I've had this issue with length.

I've been to several Fl State Parks that say max length 35' and you could actually fit a semi truck with trailer on the site. Not sure why Fl does that.

Freudian slip?

Sometimes it's not the length of the site, but the radius of the curves and width of the access road.

Even if you can fit a longer RV into the site, getting there may be the challenge.

That would make sense in some cases, but the loop I wanted also had 35' and 40' sites. I have called before and was told there was no problem with the site length even though it said 30'. I called this time and the lady couldn't remember what the actual site looked like, so she wouldn't commit. Nothing against her for that. I'd hate to get there and the site be too short.

Just upgraded from a 32 to a 36. There is no difference in the driving part on the highways since the width is the same and it's just a matter of doing and getting used to the backing, not much difference it's getting use to where to stop for the stabilizers. I wished I had got the bigger unit years ago even though 4 ft. doesn't sound like much it's a king instead of a queen and a second bathroom.
